[Bug 622592] Re: KTouch lecture contains a swear word

[Jonathan Carter]

Please keep tis bug report open. I agree that swear words is an old-
fashioned concept that's becomming less relevant to young people today.
However, Tom is right, there's still currently plenty of good reasons
why that word shouldn't be included in the dictionary. I can certainly
imagine it spinning a typical classroom out of control.

This isn't a case of censorship or being 'old people', it's a case of
what's appropriate. We also don't want to have warnings slapped on
Edubuntu for parental advisory, etc.

So, even though the swear word idea is kind of outdated, please don't
close it, it's certainly valid!

Bug description:
Binary package hint: ktouch

I am using ubuntu 10.4.
ktouch version: 4:4.4.2-0ubuntu2

I was following a lecture to learn Dvorak (Training > Default Lectures .. > Dvorak (auto-generated))
Among the various English and pseudo-English words KTouch asked me to type, I encountered "cunt".
I imagine it could be a source of trouble if Ubuntu is ever used at school to teach children how to type.
