Google and Bing Apps for the iPhone Won’t Translate Spoken Swear Words – in Any Language
Yeah, I use “swear words” on a regular basis. I don’t think that makes me a bad person, either. At least I don’t mispronounce “nuclear!” I’m also guilty of wanting to learn the “bad words” in other languages – if only to know when someone is calling me something I’d rather not be called. And [...]
