Wot dat?Rather like the Peterborough Paradox.
What sometimes drives me nuts is when a supposed profanity is inside a perfectly good word. See if you can guess what I am complaining about:
An expression of my overactive imagination.Wot dat?
I think we cannot fix it: based upon the following thread about zenforo's profanity filter.I know what you mean. See if you can guess what this word is supposed to be: Bere****.
It's the common transliteration of the Hebrew word for the Book of Genesis (literally meaning "in the beginning") and commonly used by Jews.
Instead of attempting to write this word out here, I've now taken to writing out a phonetic approximation of the word, which the filter permits: Beresheet.
It's not that it's a big deal for me to consciously remember to change that word whenever I intend to use it here. I'm just saying that it was a surprise the first time I discovered that I couldn't type Bere**** here. I don't imagine that I'm the first person to have encountered this here, seeing as how these are Religious Forums.
To the Moderators (@JustGeorge @SalixIncendium @Quagmire @Debater Slayer @Brickjectivity and others): Please know I'm not complaining, although I wonder whether it's possible to exclude the word Bere**** from the profanity filter somehow? And, thank you for all your good work here.

I looked it up and found there is a St. Petersburg paradox, which is one of those tedious conundrums (conundra?) involving the tossing of coins, beloved of those ghastly people whose heads stick out at the back and belong to MENSA.An expression of my overactive imagination.
