profanalyzer version 0.1.1 has been released!



Profanalyzer has one purpose: analyze a block of text for profanity. It is
able to filter profane words as well.

What sets it slightly apart from other filters is that it classifies each
blocked word as "profane", "racist", or "sexual" - although right now, each
word is considered "profane". It also rates each word on a scale from 0-5,
which is based on my subjective opinion, as well as whether the word is
commonly used in non-profane situations, such as "ass" in "assess".

The Profanalyzer will default to a tolerance of of 2, which will kick back
the arguably non-profane words. It will also test against all words,
including racist or sexual words.

Lastly, it allows for custom substitutions! For example, the filter at the
website http://www.fark.com/ turns the word "fuck" into "fark", and "shit"
into "shiat". You can specify these if you want.
