    "travel o" is censored?

    I was in the middle of discussing to someone about the Map feature and Travel and then when I was typing, I noticed, literally, "travel o" is censored. I don't think this is any bad word from googling, but I could be wrong.

    If I type "Travel On" then it appears as "?????? ?n", so it's literally that. I know you can disable the censor, but I feel this might be a bug none-the-less.

    Google says it is:

    transvestite
    "travelo" from French

    Searched for: 'translate travelo'

    They likely have certain words blocked, including a few variations that people would try to use to get around it, like adding a space in the word.

    Transvestite is a dirty word? Come on SE, this is the 21st century not the 17th.

    Edit: One of my favorite names I've ever seen in ffxi was an elvaan female named Dragqueen.

    Transvestite is not an insult, but "travelo" is.
    "Travelo" is to "transvestite" what "fag" is to "homosexual".
