Profanity filter

The filter replaces a word that beings with "A" with shiny happy person.

But now if I say "You are an a...", it becomes "You are an shiny happy person".  Now my insult is grammatically incorrect!

I vote this word should be replaced by a word or phrase beginning with the same letter.

'a-shiny happy person'?

For berkeleys sake

What a E36 M3ty topic.

Really? Sounds like the complaint a Bob Costas would make. Don't be a vajajay, you berkeleying dipE36 M3. 

shiny happy persons everywhere. I'm surrounded by shiny happy persons.

In reply to ProDarwin :

I agree. Some days it takes too much brain power to make my swearing filled posts grammatically correct after the filter kicks in. It's too much berkeleying work those days.

In Germany bad things happen when you do this to another driver  - -  it means shiny happy person.

But commas save lives:

I like cooking my family and my pets.

I like cooking, my family, and my pets.

Let's eat grandma.

Let's eat, grandma.

stop clubbing, baby seals.

Brazil too, although it is generally inverted.  Our sister ship was shut down at the dock when the Chief Mate said and gestered "OK" to the longshoremen.

Here's a radical notion:  Perhaps the grammatically incorrect correction will serve to dissuade people from using profanity in the first place, thereby avoiding the error and the certainty of social ostracization that ensues.

My personal favorite, and why I like the Oxford comma.

In reply to ProDarwin :

Stop being an shiny happy person.  

For berkeley's sake. Who has time for this bullE36 M3?

I'm so berkeleying disappointed it took this long.

Wrong thread - needs to be over at "first world problems "

BAck to the OP, not that I'm not enjoying much of the filter use.  But what about changing 'Shiny happy person' to 'outstandingly shinny happy person'. 

Then 'you are an a55h0l3' becomes 'you are an outstandingly shinny happy person'.  Grammar restored an the rear end evacuation person is slammed even more.

In reply to Adrian_Thompson :

Unfortunately, brevity is irrevokably harmed.  

People who are really good at swearing are often not so good at grammar. 

The profanity is much more important than the grammar of the profanity!

In reply to SVreX :

If someone's about to cut my finger off, I'm  not too concerned if what I shout comes out, "HEY, berkeleyO, YOUS IS ABOUT TO CUT M'berkeleyIN FINGER OFF!!!" 

The OP's problem is solved if he replaces the not-particularly-descriptive article "an" with something more expressive, like "You are the world's ugliest shiny happy person" or "You are the biggest shiny happy person I have ever seen."

Second edit.  Turns out we don't have a filter for number 2, 5, and 7.
