Another instance of "Make sure your spelling's correct...."

I was using an online translator to double-check the English translation of do prdele - which is Czech for "shit"/"fuck"/"bugger".

And instead, I typed in do predele - which is Czech for "to compartment".

It took me a moment of "Wait...I don't think that's right..." to figure out what was wrong.

Have you discovered Swearsaurus? Best cussin' and swearin' site ever. Curses, foul language, and insults in 165 languages.

Including Czech.

I have no idea why they didn't go with Swearsaurus.com. 'cause that would have made finding it way easier. But, no, they have to have this weird url. No matter, there it is.

Enjoy.

Thanks! And because it would have made too much sense? :-P
