Profanity words in reCAPTCHA image?

[Henrik]

Started using reCAPTCHA this week, but was wondering if we will see
profanity words in the captcha image or not? If so, how frequent are
these words? This is concern of ours.

Thanks.

You certainly won't see profanity in the "known word" however it's not
unknown for either
1) the unknown word to be a 'profanity' - the liklihood is related to
the book being converted, but is low. But remember some people's
profanity is another's non-profanity.
2) more common, is a combination of two words to have certain
connotations if the person reading it has that sort of mindset (I'm
thinking of the professionally offended here)

For examples of #2, see:

In regard to the issue with two known words making a offending phrase -  Is this even an issue anymore because all results from reCaptcha contain one garbled word instead of two known words?  I wonder if they changed this last year?
