We really get sick of these filters.
For some reason they are only available in american english.
Only a very tiny part of the world population is speaking american english.
But our mails written in a variety of languages are abused by these filters and do not reach the wished recipient because a very kind, polity, appropriate word in one language is in american english something moderate filthy.

That makes that the writers of these filters must be MS personnel.
Why this?
Now... I see similarities in how Spellchecker is done if MS office applications.
When they check spelling for example in Word they start to automatically alter the things that you type (because you must be wrong) than they determine that the texts is in an other language. I would expect they first change back their changes done to the text because they where based on an incorrect assumption...... Ehhhh.... Nooooo..... We leave them that way, change the dictionary to the other language and start checking....... strange!!!!!!!!
A lot of words are not correct in that other language!!!!!!!

In fact in one simple way, I can understand these kind of things.
Those Poor People only are able to understand only one language.
As a result they are not able to understand and are not able to test their logic and processes they create.

Sorry, this is rant........
(Goes rant through the filter????).

Kind regards,
Eduard Sluis.

Someone should tell whomever made the dictionary for the filter that the
F in RTFM stands for _friendly_ :)
