RE: [GD-Consoles] username dictionaries

That's also a problem if you're a brit in the US; 'Jesus' is a common (and
_very_ weak... grandparent-friendly) swear word here, and it's always very
strange when some US guy gets offended by it.

On the other hand, of course, you can use (iirc) 'tosser' with impunity :)
And then you hit words like 'homely', which means 'like a home' in UK
English, and 'ugly' in US English. And remember, in the UK we walk on the
pavement, but don't have to dodge cars :)

Like PlanetSide's insistence on filtering out "Jesus", even though
it's a common first name in the Hispanic world.
