What would be pretty cool would be to have a filter that when ever is saw the word "shit" it would replace it with the word "crap". Crap may not be expectable either but it is better then the alternative.
Who do you think is naieve enough to be fooled by a filter that replaces 'shit' with 'crap'? It neither changes the meaning nor the intent of the author. It would only fool a reader who isn't proficient enough to read a sentence and get a meaning out of the sequence of words - only someone who reads word-by-word without consulting the context might be fooled. But such a person would get upset about 'crap' as well. A more neutral replacement, 'humming bird' for instance, could do the trick.
