Let's not hide it - it is just common language. Many people do call their friends "b * * * * * s" or "m * * * * rf * * * * rs", and there is no negative context to it.
The iOS autocorrect feature does not (at least in Polish) include popular swear words used on daily basis by many people. The T9 dictionary on my old Nokia e52 did not include them either. I don't know how it is on Android or Windows Phone, or other feature phones (never tested), or desktop system spell-checkers. but a question arises:
If swear words are popular, and thus they are a inescapable part of everyday language, should they be included in autocorrect/spell-check dictionaries by default? Or is the correctness more important?
