The plugin mostly works. But not fully. The problem is I have a sentence that not longer works when the plugin changes the profanity. You should to look for f*ck off and change it to something like bugger off.
Code:
‘Yup, well you can hell off. What do you want?’
Another phrase that's not done correctly is jack sh*t. You can use bugger all.
Code:
The press don’t know you, and even if they did, they don’t give Jack Crap.
Another phrase that wasn't translated correctly is f*ck-off. You could use piss off or sod off.
Code:
Recently built a hell-off development—an old warehouse on Shoreham Harbour.
Yet another is bad sh*t. Make it trouble.
Code:
‘You in some kind of bad crap?’ the American voice said.
Still unsure whether this was some kind of game, Michael said, ‘Bad crap, you got it.’
when the original says No sh*t Sherlock, there's nothing you can do to change it unless you change the entire phrase.
Code:
‘Right! No crap, Sherlock.’
Another that needs a revision. F*ck it does not work as it's changed. Use To hell with it.
Code:
‘Hell it,’ Mark said, brushing her aside, and eyeballing Grace again.
Give a f*ck should be changed to give a damn.
Code:
‘So I read in the stuff I downloaded from the net,’ he replied.</p>You don’t give a hell, do you?’
This one is more difficult. The original is F*ck me and what it got changed to does not work. In fact, I'm not sure what would work in place because those two words can mean different things.
Code:
Slipping her hands out, she reached around him, clicked his mouse to exit the program, then whispered into his ear, ‘Hell me.’
The original word is b*tch and changing it to witch works where what's used fails.
Code:
<p>‘So I read in the stuff I downloaded from the net,’ he replied.</p>‘You know, you can be such a complain at times,’ Branson said, reluctantly following him to the main entrance, through the doors and up the staircase past the displays of  truncheons.
