Dear All Here at VUW we make use of the Aspell software to provide spelling corrections / suggestions for the Library Catalogue. http://victoria.lconz.ac.nz/ Sometime when users search for a legitimate word Aspell would suggest a profanity. For example Cnut (England's Viking king) ; 'hispan? cuentes' and 'FCUK' all produced some profanities in our implementation of Aspell. In the past I just added the word that produced the profanity to custom dictionary. Aspell would of course now see these words as legitimate and not suggest a profanity. To do this effectively I need to know what words are likely to produce profanities, which in the long run is not a good proposition. So, is there a switch that one could use to turn of the profanities? Kind regards, Skalk Skalk van der Merwe Systems Support Librarian Victoria University of Wellington www.victoria.ac.nz/library
