Slav word #293

Closed vladislav-yashin closed 4 years ago

vladislav-yashin commented 4 years ago

Alex marks the words slav and slavs (not a ~slave~) as profane. It's a bit offensive, not it?

wooorm commented 4 years ago

Thanks for catching that, that’s clearly a bug.

Slav should probably be rated as 0 here? https://github.com/words/cuss/blob/b99c3cbdb301bcd2eb5eeba862e86dc7a990ba30/index.json#L1502 (warning: contains obscene words)

Is this something you could PR?

vladislav-yashin commented 4 years ago

It might be a solution, but I wonder if it could affect any other words that contain slav inside and are really profane. Maybe, these words should be listed explicitly? I don't have enough confindence in English to investigate that.

Cuss is used in retext-profanities, and then in this project. We don’t have warnings for partial matches. And: if we use 0, Slav would still be warned about, but with softer language: it’s profane in some cases.

Maybe, these words should be listed explicitly

Can you clarify what you mean by this? Where should they be listed?

Thanks for the idea, went ahead and changes cuss. Released!
