iPhone: pottymouth friendly

Steve must have been a sailor in a former life, because it's been a while since we've seen a phone dictionary come preloaded with so many US swears. The iPhone even supports multiple forms of the mother of all curses -- truly, a versatile word for a versatile phone. Now go wash your mouth out with soap, mister.

Supports

• F*ck
• F*cks
• F*cker
• F*cked
• Sh*t
• Microsoft

Does not support

• Motherf*r
• Zune

We're sure you and your foul mouth will have plenty more words you'll want to try -- leave 'em in comments, but mind the minors, ok?

[TrafficGeek @ Jun 30th 2007 12:48PM]

beautifully designed User Interface like this just can't help but bring tears to your eyes!

#@$%!$%@ Way to go Apple!!

[Xavier Gill @ Jun 30th 2007 12:48PM]

I wish I was special,
you're so fucling special.

[Dan @ Jun 30th 2007 3:27PM]

Eww, you creep.

[Farris @ Jul 2nd 2007 1:14AM]

But I'M a creep!

[effzehn @ Jun 30th 2007 12:49PM]

Does it support LOL ;-)

[Rohit Kapur @ Jun 30th 2007 12:49PM]

lol. . . So Ryan, was it YOU who got curious enough to try 'em all out?? Hehehehe. . .

[Prasand J. @ Jun 30th 2007 1:01PM]

It seems to me that's what most sane users would attempt first @ putting the correction and completion through the hoops.

[Andune @ Jun 30th 2007 12:53PM]

* F*ck
* F*cks
* Sh*t
* Microsoft

Made me laugh...

[MarionBarfs @ Jun 30th 2007 12:53PM]

haha no one should say Zune

[ben @ Jun 30th 2007 12:54PM]

This is one of the funniest post on Engadget I have seen in a while.

[jilie @ Jun 30th 2007 12:58PM]

Supports

F*ck
F*cks
Sh*t
Apple?

[todd @ Jun 30th 2007 1:23PM]

Apple was already included by their allowing you to type sh*t.

[Matt @ Jun 30th 2007 1:02PM]

...

Stop with the iPhone already. This isn't anything important.

[NiGhTmArE @ Jun 30th 2007 1:07PM]

Stfu! Don't like all the iPhone entries? Go make your own gadget blog.

[Alex @ Jun 30th 2007 1:14PM]

Your right, it's not at all important, but it's definitely funny.

[Prasand J. @ Jun 30th 2007 1:47PM]

Who deluded you into believing only important things make the news? If there were other things to report, then they would. They're idle and are amusing themselves, you're idle thus responding to it, we're idle for reading it, and others are for doing it.

I see nothing wrong with filling the space. Some people obviously care enough about it, or are idle enough to read it. If you were indifferent (thus truly didn't care) you wouldn't be responding. Therefore, by responding and creating traffic you ironically validate it's newsworthiness.

[Nomi @ Jun 30th 2007 2:05PM]

They are still doing a better job than gizmodo....all you see there is iPhone...

[John @ Jun 30th 2007 7:04PM]

Which is worse: iPhone news on Engadget, or Paris Hilton news on CNN?

[vibin @ Jul 16th 2007 12:44AM]

Does it work in India, suppose if I have purchase apple iphone by currier?
Pls. revert.

[lolec @ Jun 30th 2007 1:05PM]

can you write Zune for example and save it in the dictionary?

[Davis Collins @ Jun 30th 2007 1:10PM]

Wait, I see what you did there...

[Gus Miller @ Jun 30th 2007 1:42PM]

It should have most (if not all) words from the dictionary library in OS X... so Mac users can check their little application to see what they've got available. Plenty of profanity in there if the "Parental Controls" aren't enabled. =P

[Chuckles McGee @ Jun 30th 2007 1:21PM]

Come on guys, there are kids who read these pages:

Write M*cr*s*ft and Z*ne please!

[Dave @ Jun 30th 2007 1:39PM]

I seriously doubt that reading a few obscenities is going to corrupt any children. Likely, they were corrupted long before they started reading Engadget.

[Dave @ Jun 30th 2007 1:23PM]

Z*ne ?!?!
man, you people are NASTY!

[Roberto @ Jun 30th 2007 1:24PM]

It was taken from the Apple Product development and review meetings.

[Prasand J. @ Jun 30th 2007 1:25PM]

Whlie I undretsand taht bleeping out a lteter is poliitcally corrcet, isn't it a knwon fcat that we dnnoot process evrey snigle letter upon reading anyway? Hence one can sitll raed soemthing lkie this.

[Brian STAGG @ Jun 30th 2007 1:28PM]

Huh?

; )

[Adam Williamson @ Jun 30th 2007 4:19PM]

yes, but that only works so long as you actually know the word in question. The idea behind 'bleeping' parts of a word is that there is, somewhere in this world, a child who doesn't know the word 'f*ck'. I've yet to meet this rumored being, but hey, it might be true.

[Prasand J. @ Jul 1st 2007 3:39AM]

and let's for a second imagine said child actually reading engadget leisurely.

(yeah, I found that thought amusing as well).


-
I already understood the logic behind it, even demonstrated that in my opening words. I then also demonstrated that understanding by example. As such, what was the point to your retort?

If you were talking just to talk, cool ... I am primarily a journey oriented person and truly appreciate such sharing. If you were doing so to elaborate for others an understanding that I already 'demonstrated' by example ... cool, I even appreciate that. Though if your intention was greater than that, please enlighten me.

Regardless I have also expounded upon the futility of such logic as a 'method of consideration' in my initial sentence of this reply. It's not really personally considerate at all, it's merely a media-centric consideration of standards ... and not the actual readers. There is a significant difference between the effects of omitting / censoring / replacing a word entirely for the sake of the reader, and merely censoring a single letter for the sake of a hypothetical child that doesn't even know the word ... that probably wouldn't even be reading it in the first place.

So really, what's your point?

[andres @ Jun 30th 2007 1:28PM]

yeah.. I was amazed when the keyboard not only correct me when try to type wtf but it also capitalized it for me. Allowing me to successfully type "WTF is wrong with at&t" in an SMS message i was sending. on that note one can only that the service gets better (it was a bit spotty in my area for a bit) because the device is so lovely.

[CyBeR @ Jun 30th 2007 1:29PM]

Ok censoring 'bad words' is laughable usually, but seriously this is ridiculous.

[chuck @ Jun 30th 2007 1:55PM]

what "minor" doesn't know all of these words and reads engadget? 5 year olds?

[humpty @ Jun 30th 2007 1:59PM]

I would be surprised if they screened txt messages for terrorist activity.

[Donald @ Jun 30th 2007 2:07PM]

What about the other words George Carlin said you can't say on television?

[james Laporte @ Jun 30th 2007 2:12PM]

They arent built in. The iPhone learns the words

[Jonathan Worrel @ Jun 30th 2007 2:51PM]

XFD, now that's classic :]

[tiuk @ Jun 30th 2007 3:24PM]

It's all in good fun, man, lighten up.

[Phillip Black @ Jun 30th 2007 3:28PM]

Does it support iphone and ipod, and steve jobs

[Daniel @ Jun 30th 2007 3:42PM]

If you type in Cunr it replaces the 'r' with a 't'.

[dee-dee-deetarded @ Jun 30th 2007 4:52PM]

now that's just not right, but good thinking I guess?

[will @ Jun 30th 2007 3:53PM]

damn, samuel jackson's gonna be pissed off when he finds out "MOTHERFUCKER" is not in there.....

[dee-dee-deetarded @ Jun 30th 2007 4:51PM]

I am so motherf***ing tired of these motherf***ing phones on this motherf***ing blog.

-Samuel L. Jackson, "Phones on a Blog"

[Mac @ Jun 30th 2007 4:11PM]

Quite surprising, but not really a big deal, unless for some weird reason it wouldn't learn new words.

I'll be yawning until I have multi-language text completion in multiple languages on the same phone... Including Asian language input support.

[Brett Sterling @ Jun 30th 2007 4:43PM]

It may not know f*ck or zune separately but together f*ck zune it knows for sure

[dee-dee-deetarded @ Jun 30th 2007 4:47PM]

Apple threw in some 'hip' texting help for those who are bragging about their new phone.

EX. - (Messages Vary from user to user ('nuff said))

[paloooz @ Jun 30th 2007 6:16PM]

It also has "l33t" in it.

[robothouse @ Jun 30th 2007 6:44PM]

Zune this shit, man!
