Replying to @joseph.emery.prank who posted this:
I’d reply directly there but someone closed the thread. It’s really frustrating that people do that! What is there to gain from closing a thread? It just means future replies will be disconnected. Anyway…
When words appear as alternative answers in a multiple choice, it usually means those words are in the course, you just haven’t reached them yet. If you don’t want to see those words, you should probably switch to a different course. Fortunately with a popular language like French, there are lots of courses to choose from.
Some people want to learn foreign language vocabulary including all sorts of harsh, offensive, or impolite words and phrases. For example, it’s really useful for understanding movies, or literature. Or for hanging out in the country in question and understanding what people around you on the street are saying. So I’m glad courses exist that have such things in them - and in fact I’m probably taking the very same French course you were taking when you posted that.
However, you’re not the first person to have complained, so clearly there exist some people who want “clean” French courses without any bad language. It would be useful if people made some courses like that and clearly labelled them, so that they’d be easier to find. I hope the majority of courses don’t stick to “clean” language, but having a few would be useful.
Perhaps all of the official Memrise courses do that?
I don’t know, I don’t take any of the official courses.
