Some versions of the filter were *adapted to parody other forms of English speech, such as valspeak, *cockney, geordie, Pig Latin, and even the Swedish Chef. The latter form *is sometimes known as the "Encheferator" or "Encheferizer". This family *of programs became quite popular in the late 1980s. So it's a parody of multiple english speechs. Also, mark it as offensive is subjective opinion. Perhaps who made the change could explain better. --- --- Eduardo Morras <emorrasg@yahoo.es>
