Simple, but not really all that useful. Stick in your favourite news website and it’ll block out words like loss, crash, etc. Here’s what it does to the Guardian…

It would be better (ie complete) if they replaced recession with another word like fluffy, and fear with a word like jelly. Say.
Then the headline would read “world markets slide again as fluffy jelly resurface”.
Yeah – it’s missing something. Jelly is definitely part of it.
“lay off” and “laid off” should be added to the list of word combinations that are blocked.
