In the "What is a prototype" thread I tried to type the name of the guy who is attributed with the invention of the device that started the Zero Hour Bomb Company. When I typed in J a p (apparently what the guy was called) the system kept substituting the word 'japanese' which is a fine word (and people, and country) but not the one that I was quite looking for. Am I doing something wrong?
Regards,
Clinton

Clinton: It's quite likely that the program that runs the board is sensitized to terms not considered politically correct, as well as to attempts to use profanities...i.e., substitution of "damreel" for, well, guess... there was a fellow that we used to call j a p in our home town...this was a nickname for Jasper..likely also the case for your fellow.
