Could a moderator of this forum please edit keith191283's post. I think we could all get the gist of what the picture was inscribed with if it was edited to say "Keith, Kick some a** bud, Best Wishes". I know it's knit-picking, but I figured it's best safer than sorry with the young crowd.

Hey Lisa,
You have to take into account that he's in Scotland, where that particular word may not have the same "strength" that is has here in the US.
I do agree that the word should be edited for some of our younger,
American members.

Hi!
I've edited Keith's post to say a**!!! When I first saw it, it didn't really bother myself, but now that I remember there are younger memebers here, in which the language would not be suitable for I have mended it!!

Hey Lisa,
Thanks for pointint that out for us!! I was on the same boat as Larisie, I looked at it but didn't really care too much about the word as it doesn't bother me, but i also remembered that there are a LOT of younger members here!! Great job!!
And Thank you Larisie for fixing up the word!!

The exact same thing goes for me, but my husband and I have really had to crack down on what gets through to my son (both through us and T.V., etc.) since he tends to imitate everything right now

! So that's probably what led to me spotting it. That and the fact that I still moderate on the elmosplayground website, where obviously there are MANY young viewers, so I'm pretty well conditioned to spotting even little things that most of us see as harmless.

In England, the word is not really frowned upon anymore because there is a television advert advertising Renault Clios which is famed for its large behind - so here in the UK it's fine, however well done Larisie for fixing the word for the younger US users.
