Bad words subsitution is getting out of hand

I have spend time trying to figure out

P a k i s t a n - P a k i

A r s e n al - A r s e

O b j e c t i v e - b j

There are many more that I cannot recall at the moment but when seemingly good words just contain bad letters, it really is hard to understand the person until I figure out what the missing letters are.

LOL (not your comment, good point) it's just that I figured the ****stan one, but the others...

removing sections like that seems to draw more attention to what's blanked out. Don't know if this method can be avoided, though.

Agreed...

I will see if we can set the word filters only to be applied if the specific word comes up, as oppose to being part of another word.

What is the objective regarding Pakistan's arsenal? Regardless, I'm glad it's fixed.
