That's probably quite tricky to fix as ligatures are case-sentivive. It makes little sense to have an fi ligeture applied to FI, as well. And the longer the letter combination, the more variants you'd have to include (2^length).

Bullshit-ify bookmarklet. Create a bookmark with the following code as the url and click it on any website. :) https://gist.github.com/geoah/b2eda5b6cb7169bbbadb ps. Chrome seems to be removing the `javascript:` part when pasting the code.

That is awesome! I think Fx and IE might choke on the cross-domain font requestiness though.

"internet of things" gets through the b.s. filter. Kindly fix. Thank you!

Also synergy is bullshitted, but synergies not.

Yup, personally I don't see the point of doing anything if it's only going to give me one synergy...

To be fair, you only need three to cover the vast majority of actual uses: variant, Variant, VARIANT.

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

Same with "Disrupt all the things".

Works if you paste as plain text (Ctrl + Shift + V).

I've actually read corporate "mission statements" that don't even sound like English. Like, not just a few buzzwords, but near-complete gibberish in places. What possesses people to do this?

The goal is to write something that people can rally behind but that's at the same time not divisive. So it needs emotional impact without meaning, and thus we get corporate bullshit.

I think this was because of the contenteditable div. I now stuck a plain ol' textarea in there, that should fix the problem.
