So when the title says official, they actually mean "internal api, dug out of javascript source on a google affiliated site"?

What the {"response": "true"} is this {"response": "true"} thing? A {"response": "true"} cache page? Are you {"response": "true"} {"response": "true"} me?! Do you really need a {"response": "true"} JSON API to do the work of a stupid {"response": "true"} array lookup? {"response": "true"}!!!

I was hoping this was an API for <i>generating</i> profanity.

Why oh why does profanity <i>ever</i> need to be filtered out?

Nice, and it passes a couple of examples of the Scunthorpe Problem: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem</a>

My first thought was "Oh, I wonder if that means the spellcheck on my smartphone will stop substituting 'duck' when I meant to type something more profane." But after reading the article, I guess not.

It's publicly accessible, but I wouldn't call it official.
