SYMPTOMS
When you are using Word 2000 with the Italian Proofing Tools, and you type the English word &quot;cult&quot;, the grammar checker indicates that the phrase is grammatically incorrect. Word 2000 then displays the following message:

Si consiglia di sostituire la parola selezionata perché volgare,

Sostituire cult con:

sedere

fortuna

The suggested words contain a potentially offensive word.
