   At work we had a text-to-speech feature used for broadcasting   
   translated METAR over the airwaves. (Writing the translation code   
   was fun fun fun :-D).   
      
   Of course, boys will be boys and one day some high-up military guy   
   heard some scatology going out over the airwaves.   
      
   Shpx!   
      
   My task was to add a filter for cuss-words. So I made a   
   dictionary of cuss-words. Showing them in source code or in the   
   debugger did not seem to be a wise option, so the words were   
   encoded using ROT-13.   
      
   One mistake I made and had to fix was filtering the word   
   "cumulative" :-D
