Japanese family names frequently use ~sh*ta or sh*ta~, but it is forcefully changed to ~sh*ta or Sh*ta~. It is unkindful for foreign language.
下 owns many different ways to read.
1.sh*ta (下)
2.shimo (下)
3.ka (下)
4.ge (下)
5.kuda - ru (下る)
6.o - riru (下りる)
7.saga - ru (下がる)
8.he (下)
Also 下 is used in family name like:
山下 (Yamash*ta) やました
大下 (Osh*ta) おおした
下屋 (sh*taya) したや
杉下 (Sugish*ta) すぎした
森下 (Morish*ta) もりした
etc
This is a problem to write in this board. Why this board uses such rule?

I'm afraid you will have to live with the problem. The rules are for a purpose. That purpose is to not show profanity. (Even though you know what the word is trying to say, many people don't like to actually read it) ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

It also makes it difficult for us to give a formal welcome to new Japanese members - just try the entering word 'hajimemash*te'. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |

Wasn't there a problem once, when you couldn't spell the name of KC's record "Night-watch" because of the "t**t" word in it? The same thing with "sophomore" because of the "homo" in the middle, but I think it's been fixed by now.
And there was once a problem with spelling words "sulk", "skulk", etc., as "ulk" was always changed to "terminated".  ------------- sig |

As Snow Dog says, it's the over enthusiastic profanity checker. I guess there are ways around it, others seem to find them easily enough when they want to use the targeted words.

Thanks Snow Dog, Syzygy, Trickstar F, Easy Livin. I wish there would be a good way to explain in this board. By the way, ''hajimemash*te'' is impossible on it ??!!
