TietoEvry specialists have created a font that automatically replaces offensive words with polite ones. He and he swear
The font is called The Polite Type.It uses special text recognition algorithms that rely on a built-in dictionary. Now it contains about two thousand words and expressions. The new font should work in any text editor, according to the developers.
The Polite Type works like this: if the user wants to write “she is ugly”, the font will correct the phrase to “she is not traditionally beautiful”. Also The Polite Type hides mates ("fuck") and corrects for neutral phrases with aggression. For example, “I hate you” will be corrected to “I disagree with you”.
The authors of the font want to make online communication more polite and cultural.
