For example, switching out the word ‘boot’ for ‘trunk’, or ditching the word ‘rubbish’ for ‘garbage’.
This is something I’ve noticed my 6 year old does pretty regularly. We went through a stage where ‘sweets’ became ‘candy’, ‘holiday’ became ‘vacation’ and ‘courgette’ became ‘zucchini’.
That last one didn’t happen but if you’re still reading you’ve got my respect, or as the Americans might say ‘…mad props’.
I can also choose not to, never sure about filters.
Sure. But it’s a normal word, and censoring a few letters makes it look ruder than it is. Like writing “cockerel” as “c***erel”. Just draws attention to the offensive bit.
