I become legally deaf in the 7th piano octave which means that I can still enjoy the fundamental frequencies of most musical instruments but often find it difficult to understand human speech, so I usually have closed caption turned on. The closed caption censors also find some words worse than others. In keeping with the original thought of this commentary, you might find their apparent criteria interesting if you didn't have CC on when you watched it.
I must also mention that this is golden, "It's a feature of a lot of activism right now that a few narcissists do more harm than good for everybody else unlucky enough to share a demographic with them."
And autocomplete on cell phones will never suggest such above-the-fold words as "shit" much less "fuck," no matter how many times I use them, and I use them a lot.
I could see these being disabled by default but it defeats the whole purpose when I keep having to change ship and duck back to what I clearly intended.
That's strange, I find those words popping up in my auto correct even when I don't use them. I was terrified that someday I might miss it when that happens, and accidentally send an obscene message to a female student. (which would probably have gotten me fired.) On the other hand it once changed a message from my wife saying "you can thank me later" to "you can fuck me later", which was a pleasant bit of banter.
Having tonsilitis three times a year until I was 25 left me hearing-impaired as well; unless the latter is near the bottom of its range, I can no longer distinguish an oboe from an English horn. Yours however might be worse, masking the overtone difference between an oboe and a clarinet.
My right ear is useless for understanding speech and a few times in my life people have thought I was giving off some attitude because they would speak to me on my right and thought I was ignoring them.
I read lips very well, and when I was studying Cantonese I would even understand its speakers on the other side of a noisy room. But if I don't see a speaker's face my comprehension drops sharply.
I don't read lips that well but the pandpanic showed me that I do rely on it. I don't know how many times I've said "I'm sorry but I have no idea what you are saying" over the past couple of years thanks to the muzzles.
"but some words are worse than others"
