But Ninjawords for iPhone suffers one humiliating flaw: it omits all the words deemed “objectionable” by Apple’s App Store reviewers, despite the fact that Ninjawords carries a 17+ rating.

Apple censored an English dictionary.

A dictionary. A reference book. For words contained in all reasonable dictionaries. For words contained in dictionaries that are used every day in elementary school libraries and classrooms.


This is just plain dumb. As an example of just how dumb, I can look up the same words Apple are censoring on the iPhone/iPod touch using the Leopard built-in dictionary application.

Un f****ing believable!

And according to Apple, I rode into town on my [LIFTED]. I went into the bar and snagged my shirt on a loose [LIFTED], ironic as I wanted to order a [LIFTED]driver to drink. The barmaid's [LIFTED] sat at the end of the bar. Outside a [LIFTED] signaled sunrise...

Hmm, Apple seem to have a [LIFTED] loose themselves! :?

Oooh! Excuse to use a rare word!

I think the correct tmesis for that word (IMHO) is unbe-f***ing-lievable :D

Other than that I whole heartedly agree.

That's an awesome word, going to have to store that away for future usage.

I first heard it on QI. :D

It's a very cool word for something that you wouldn't even think has a word for it :D
