. . . my dad understands how the Evil Bots running this site work. For instance, this episode of The Bullwinkle Show includes a "Fractured Fairy Tale." The title of said segment constitutes a complicated pun, relying on an aspect of the American language involving "sound alike" words. "Sound alike" is how American elementary school first grade teachers address this aspect of our language. Older people, such as Second Graders, high school and college kids and literate adults use the specific grammar term intended for grown-up use--EXCEPT when they're on this web site. Here the nefarious censor bots silence, muzzle, stymie, censor and suppress this basic noun because they object to its first four letters. How childishly ignorant can a computer be?
