We can't say our species on Yahoo?

Question

I just saw that someone answered a question with our species name: Homo sapiens sapiens. The Homo part was blocked out. In case it is blocked out of my question here, I'll spell it backwards for ya: omoH. Crazy?

Answer 1

Just a correction to Tom:  It is Homo sapiens sapiens.  It's latin, and the singular form is SapienS.  There is always an s.

Answer 4

PC gone too far and yet people can put racist junk on here and keep posting!

Answer 5

Knew some spell checkers who'd constantly suggest not using a negative word (being slang for Homosexual)

Suspect it's the same here. Just a computer trying not to offent people.

Answer 6

I suppose it automatically recognized the word as offensive? Maybe if there had been no gap between homo and sapiens, then we could have read homosapiens.

Answer 8

Y! Answers is very sensitive.....to the point of being overzealous.  I've had some fairly innocuous stuff removed.
