who're is a contraction not a curse-word.

so when I use the contraction who're (as in who are) on the galaxy message board, what appears is: ***'**. I'd like to point out that "who're" is not a curse-word. See this link from dictionary.reference.com:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/who're
Note the complete lack of any reference to prostitution in the definition.

I'm aware that there's alternate ways to express "who're." But there's really nor reason for it to be censored, and if it's not too difficult to remedy that bug, I see no reason not to. Also, I think the fact that it's censored is mildly entertaining and thought other's might think so also.
And it is easy to forget that a non-curse is mistaken for a curse until the *** appear to remind me.

There are multiple good reasons why situational blockages occur, and as a fellow programmer, I approve of them and say to you that they will not and should not be removed. Just keep your mild-entertainment to yourself and use the alternate ways. It is not a bug. It has a purpose.
