Swear Filter
A wordfilter (sometimes referred to as just "filter" or "censor") is a script typically used on Internet forums or chat rooms that automatically scans users' posts or comments as they are submitted and automatically changes or censors particular words or phrases.
The most primitive wordfilters search only for a specific string and replaces it regardless of the situation. More advanced wordfilters will make distinctions against certain words, such as filtering "ass" but not "grass". The most advanced wordfilters may use regular expressions.

Famous quotes containing the word swear:
“That loving wretch that swears
‘Tis not the bodies marry, but the minds,
Which he in her angelic finds,
Would swear as justly that he hears,
In that day’s rude hoarse minstrelsy, the spheres.
Hope not for mind in women; at their best
Sweetness and wit, they’re but Mummy, possessed.”
—John Donne (1572–1631)
