Even the word fuck can be perfectly acceptable in plenty of contexts. Weird that someone went to the trouble of building in weird kill-switch exceptions in a spell checker.

“This feature remains severely disliked by users, with feedback such as ‘Fuck this moronic new button!’ being an example of the milder responses.”

As an Australian, I’m fucking livid these fucks think they have the right to fuck around with my use of the word fuck.

That is to say… as a native speaker of the lovely little English variant where the word fuck or words derived from it are valid in almost every single linguistic context the English language possesses… I take offence at this petty US cultural imperialism.

Just looking at the sheer flexibility of the word on the wiktionary reveals it’s impressive breadth of use. https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/fuck#English

ah yes, basically the reason why i created by own code of conduct for github projects.
