I've found a nine letter word. Is it in the dictionary?

This clip is from the UK gameshow Countdown. I'm guessing it wasn't televised :laugh: .

I don't like to use language this strong, but sometimes it appears at random when there are ministers of religion in the room :laugh: .

You may want to browse the FAQ's area, and have a look at the complete entry, as it also has something to say about making links, incase you have not had a chance, you can get there from here....

Thank you for understanding....

This exerpt, #24 of our FAQ's, states:


Swearing (and general abuse of other members)

SWEARING / BAD LANGUAGE / EXPLETIVES / PROFANITIES (whatever term you wish to use).

Firstly - it has been said numerous times in blogs and forum posts that a saying goes 'if you think it could offend then it probably will' - on a similar theme - post what you think is acceptable for an 8 year old to read (be it your own child or another) - this is in fact a family forum after all.

Now we all slip occasionally - so it isn’t a case of 1 offence and you’re in big trouble - the people this post is directly aimed at are those who are persistent and do so in a flagrant manner - even after unofficial and official warnings about it. This generally covers shoutbox and chat - but to a degree also the private messaging system and most certainly the forums. Three of the four aforementioned areas, admins have direct control over - obviously – we are not aware of such behaviour in private messages unless the recipient brings it to our attention - and if the recipient complains then it’s enough to warrant investigation.

However - Swearing is not necessary. Swearing is not cool/smart/clever

It demonstrates negative traits in an individual - namely disrespect for fellow users, lack of control (on many levels) and ultimately of oneself. It shows a degree of laziness and ignorance - the English Languages have many suitable alternatives to expletives. Heat of the moment is not an excuse - as a Jedi ; one should have more control.

Now the temple currently does not use filth-filters in chat or for the forums - we would rather not treat all our members as immature fools and implement these measures due to a small minority - and likewise - such filters do drastically affect the overall performance of the temple site - again - why should all suffer due to the minority?

We also would like to think all members have the self control and discipline to simply not swear

IT IS NOT WARRANTED – IT IS NOT WELCOME – IT IS NOT NECESSARY.

So please - think about what you have typed before you hit the enter/send button and show your respect and consideration of your fellow temple users by simply having the self restraint to not swear – it is actually easier to control oneself in this regard when typing than it is in a verbal conversation so there really is no excuse.

As a footnote - some words are 'borderline' - English is not the same in every country it is used, some words are not 'swearing' in terms of the dictionary definition but are still offensive to others - likewise a word can be harmless or offensive - depending on how it is being used (context) - please keep this in mind - if in doubt, leave it out.

I myself did not swear. I was of the understanding that language could be used in the humour section. I made sure that I did not swear in the subject line or in the post itself. Nobody in the video swore- those letters appeared at random.

Sorry. I'll be more careful next time.

Sure, I realize that, it is why I did not make a big deal about it, send a warning or anything...

But I watch the forums very carefully, and I am on mutliple times a day... I have been doing this since joining... Very seldom do I miss a day...

Yesterday, I kept thinking I should log on and check things during the day, but I could not open my eyes... I had some kind of vertigo thing going on... I kept getting sick...

I do appriciate your diligence and look forward to more posts in your journal...

Good Luck on your journey....:laugh:
