Absolutely serious. The feature irritates me so much I contacted
Qualcomm about it so see how to turn the PC feature off but they
never replied.
What happens is that if you type in a word that the program finds
offensive your message gets glossed with of one to three bright red
peppers. Then, when you try to send the message you get a warning to
the effect that this message could result in getting your mouth
washed out with soup (or something like this) if it goes out. If you
click to send anyway the program queues up the message and leaves on
the queue for about 30 minutes before actually sending it.
