The only people who care are pilots and politicians won't appeal to them. That would be like passing a law to please piano players in ***** houses. Or grey stucco houses populated by no one but Michael Jackson impersonators who go by the name of "Candice." Just not a big enough population set to make it worth their while.

**I can't believe the program software edited out the word "*****." Perhaps we should have a list of the six words in English that we're allowed to use, or the 19 acceptable letters that we can use to make them, and go from there.
They won't do it for pilots lol. The legacies would care if they have to throw their training pipelines in reverse while flying down the highway. They also care if they have to give oldies full pay and benefits to *not* fly to IST. They have lobbyists.

We will generally turn a blind eye to blue language via creative spelling if the context is PG-13 (your example above). If you call someone's Mom a 'ho, that won't fly.
