And sometimes such changes are done automatically, with no chance for review -- either for "security" reasons, when Yahoo Mail started replacing 'eval' in *emails* with 'review' (The Hindu carried an article about "the world of medireview Indian history", others on 'reviewuate'), or for "profanity" reasons ("fixing" 'ass' and 'tit'), of which "consbreastitution"^([sic]) is a clbuttic embarbutting example.

Indeed, the error is similar to the “clbuttic effect” described above—an errant text filter attempting to “clean up” text by replacing offensive terms with theoretically more appropriate ones.

This last phenomenon is sometimes referred to as ‘the clbuttic effect’, named in honour of the mangling of the word ‘classic’ by over-zealous obscenity filters.
