A few of you were pretty pissed off to learn that your foul vocabulary isn't welcome on the Nexus One, and that the smartphone's built-in voice recognition automatically filters curse words. We imagine Google will eventually release an update giving you the option to disable the filter, but until then, you're #### out of luck. Kind of.
While there's currently no way to turn the filter off, there is a workaround and it comes courtesy of Neil Gaiman, who posted his method on Twitter.
"For the curious: swear into a Google & it transcribes it as ####. But if you swear and then say "dot come" it will write what you said," Neil tweeted.
Elegant? #### no, but according to Gizmodo, it works, so it will have to do until the next update.

You guys seriously can't use a screen cap from a Nexus One? You had to resort to using an iPhone.
Steve Jobs is the Devil and likes to swear at little girls.

If anything, adding .com to the end of your swear words makes it more hilarious.
