The word "fuck" is in the dictionary. That does not mean it is universally appropriate.

Continuing this metaphor: what age rating would you give to a dictionary containing the word "fuck"?

I think dictionaries must not be age rated.

That's my point. Every Unicode character may not be universally appropriate, but it's just as silly to age-rate a dictionary as it is a keyboard that simply contains a list of Unicode characters.

Should dictionaries be put behind the counter so only adults can access them?
