I think it's in the Windows setup somewhere - Mag should look in the  
Control Panel and see if there's a contents setup or perhaps  
security.  My Mac Os X has a setting for children's accounts for  
which a parent or admin can set content levels.

Subject: software will not swear!

Golly, my dad gave me a laptop for my birthday, with naturally speaking
software female voice, Kate. There is just one problem; Kate refuses  
to say
most swear words! Why do they censor it? It should be up to the  
people to
decide. And it's inconsistent. It will say fucked, but not fucker, it  
says
shitty, but not ass..... a helper said somebody else's talking device  
also
won't say cuss words. i just can't believe it. Anthony, Beth, do you  
know
why they do it?   sure I could defeat it by spelling the words slightly
differently. But why on earth can't folks let us swear if we want to?
microsoft's Sam can do it, why can't Kate?!
