yep...i saw this when i rec'd Eudora for my iMac...wasn't sure if it
was funny or offensive <g>. Obviously, i don't use the
option...prefer to let my dirty emails reach out and slap me in the
face as they were intended to do...
then again, one is able to edit the word list deemed offensive...i
could delete all that's in it and create my own dictionary of "dirty
words". Hmmm...believe it would go something like this:
"genetically modified"
"george w. bush"
bush (well, no, i'd have to create some limiters for this...)
republican
democrat
"good capitalist"
"good business"
"no-heat jalapeno" (i suppose i'd have to include the funky thing over the "n")
"no-heat *"
"vinegar + good sauce"
"you have a son"
"Twister sucks" (actually, i may want to know who would say such so i
can put him/her on my Left Foot Up Yer Arse list)
"small penis" (uh, i just find the phrase offensive...i have this
friend, you see...)
And, well, my list would probably be something like that...
Peace, Hendrix, and Chiles.......
