English Language Chauvinism

I just learned that LinkedIn’s filters only work in the English language.

I can’t write, “shame on you,” but I can write, “qué vergüenza.”

I can’t write “suicide” but “selbstmorden” and “felo de se” are OK. (In these days, helpful AI will offer to rewrite your suicide note.)

The rich insult vocabulary of Yiddish also escapes these filters, e.g., “where’d you get that schmatte?”

Google Gemini has a different take: the word “sodomy” is prohibited, but murder and other less-deliberate violence is permitted, as befits a company whose headquarters are in the 2A USA.
