Hello, I started the Malay for the everyday course and I saw this (screenshot attached). I am wondering if the course content has been hacked by a malicious person?
that course has a level called âcursing/swearing/NSFWâ, just ignore the items in that level (i find it important to understand such local stuff - some if it⌠)

memrise is a platform for learning everything and anything
In the real life people can insult you
so if you donât know some inappropriate words or sentences how can you reply
I know with hugs , kisses and maybe with money money money and three bitches(the third solution works and itâs tested and approved)

This is the course.
You made it look like it was a troll or fake course, when itâs not. That level youâre looking at is called Cursing/Swearing NSFW. Why would you even want to censor language that you can learn?

Will ignoring an item also exclude the item from alternatives in multiple-choice? I wouldnât think so.
Yes, bad language is part of a language. However, many swearing terms have the similar meaning; couldnât it be better translated with a less offense term and then indicate âthe number of starsâ (1 start least offending; 4 stars extremely)?
John_Baite no he canât
probably it could, but what would the final use of such action be? how does that help? and who is the target group of such actionism?
(while i completely disagree with @nadroy that memrise is for learning anything. Really? like your courses âteachingâ the alphabet? letâs be a bit serious)
Maybe itâs time to move away from multiple-choice tests on the web portal and installing Cooljingleâs Tampermonkey user script âall typingâ?
Hydroptere yes my courses are includes
look at this exemple
Before learning a new language you have to learn the alphabet of this one
We will all be speaking ebonics in 50 years anyway. Get use to it.

Interesting. Thanks for the replies. I guess the confusion arose because I had only started the initial levels learning fairly polite terms - but one of the incorrect answers was âfuck your assholeâ. I suppose if Iâd already reached the swearing section of the course this might not seem so odd but I had not yet reached that level. Anyway I wonder if itâs a mistake as âfuck your assholeâ is not an insult. That would be âfuck you assholeâ. Fuck your asshole is something you might say when trying to procure anal sex. Is that really the intention?!

tbh many people could find that useful ⌠
absolutely, especially for French!!! (grow up)
Yes, in French. In which movie did they say something like: âswearing in French is the best, itâs is like wiping your b*tt with silkâ?
I have no idea, I avoid that kind of flicks (so called âblockbustersâ??). Iâve been taught French long time ago (as it happens by my half-French grandma), so my idea about French has more to do with madeleines au citron, Chartres, Jacques Brel, etc. It could be indeed that some people think a lot only about and with their bums?
