I didn't see anything in the spec[1] about case insensitivity- but as long as the table is being generated programmatically, covering capitalized forms could be in order.

True. The mapping should be in github so people could add all case variations within reason.

I'd personally add (unicorn pivot|Unicorn pivot)--> "Stinking just made BS" on to it.

this falls victim to the scunthorp problem. e.g. the word "fragile" becomes fr.

Lovely! Needs a "translator" for sites along with BS counter.

Something like https://github.com/mourner/bullshit.js ?

Heh, something like that, thanks.

Scunthorpe*. References to that problem always greatly amuse me, I live literally down the road.

OSX Chrome 40 64bit issue: Pasting text copied from anything that support formatting via html will retain font/size from copied text and thus BS font will not being used. Even Cmd+a and removing the text will retain wrong font.

I was disappointed it didn't censor "Meticulously hand crafted" or "Made with love in San Francisco". Otherwise, rather lovely.

That's OS X default behavior for rich text editing controls. You're supposed to us "Paste and Match Style" instead of just "Paste" if you don't want to retain the original formatting attributes.
