Hi, please let us know how we can improve News further.

Cussing symbols randomly throughout posts?

It's 2013 & Yahoo's borked comments AGAIN with overzealous cuss word symbols being indiscriminately inserted INSIDE longer words!
The ICK in CHICKEN and THICK is not a cuss word.
The PHOM in SOPHOMORIC is not a cuss word.
The CK in STUCK is not a cuss word
The OCK in SHOCKED is not a cuss word
Yahoo is completely destroying message content.
Stop playing the silly cuss word censorship game since it's obvious that your artificial intelligent speech police filters are flawed beyond repair.

        Exactly what action did you take? you didn't specify. I haven't noticed any improvement. I tried to type Washington, only to have it come out Wash#*&%ton. Had one response asking me why I was putting symbols in my words.
        Then I typed in **** and it was fine. If we want to insert swear words it's not that hard ex. a-s, f--k, s--t, you get the drift. Most people are good about not using filth in their post, once in a while they do but not on a regular basis. Now name calling is a different thing altogether. Thanks.

        Also, the "hm" in "Bachmann" and "impeachment"-- the "***" in "ambassador", "assassinate", "embarrass", "massive", and so forth. There are many other examples of different letter combinations.

        The list grows with every passing day. Yahoo is the global BvTT of jokes.
        Just saw #$%$ of a tree (commenter meant it to be c *r ot *ch of a tree but the idiot filter can't distinguish between the Y appendage of a human and a plant!)
