Remove those $$$$ dollar signs!

[cardinals_fan]

I modified the WebVocab user javascript to get rid of 'winblows', 'm$', and as many of those idiotic names as I could think of. If anyone can think of some names I missed, mention them and I'll add 'em. Here's the code:

// ==UserScript==
// @name WebVocab
// @namespace http://userscripts.org
// @description Substitute second language vocab your studying into your primary language Web reading! //Modified version removing dumb names for Microsoft products
// @include *
// ==/UserScript==


(function() {
var replacements, regex, key, textnodes, node, s;

textnodes = document.evaluate( "//body//text()", document, null, XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE, null);

for (var i = 0; i < textnodes.snapshotLength; i++) {
node = textnodes.snapshotItem(i);

if(node != null && node.nodeName == '#text' && /\S/.test(node.nodeValue))
{

s = node.data;
s = s.replace( /\bmicrosucks\b/gi, "Microsoft");
s = s.replace( /\bmicro\$oft\b/gi, "Microsoft");
s = s.replace( /\bmicrosoft\b/gi, "Microsoft");
s = s.replace( /\bms\b/gi, "Microsoft");
s = s.replace( /\bMs\b/gi, "Microsoft");
s = s.replace( /\bMS\b/gi, "Microsoft");
s = s.replace( /\bm\$\b/gi, "Microsoft");
s = s.replace( /\bM\$\b/gi, "Microsoft");
s = s.replace( /\bMicrosucks\b/gi, "Microsoft");
s = s.replace( /\bMicro\$oft\b/g, "Microsoft");
s = s.replace( /\bwindows\b/g, "Windows");
s = s.replace( /\bwindow\$\b/gi, "Windows");
s = s.replace( /\bwinblows\b/gi, "Windows");
s = s.replace( /\bwindblows\b/g, "Windows");
s = s.replace( /\bWindow\$\b/g, "Windows");
s = s.replace( /\bWinblows\b/g, "Windows");
s = s.replace( /\bWindblows\b/gi, "Windows");
s = s.replace( /\bWinsucks\b/g, "Windows");
s = s.replace( /\bvista\b/g, "Vista");
s = s.replace( /\bvi\$ta\b/g, "Vista");
s = s.replace( /\bVi\$ta\b/g, "Vista");
s = s.replace( /\b*******\b/g, "Windows");
s = s.replace( /\b*******\b/g, "Windows");


node.data = s;
}
}

})();

EDIT: Most of it works great, but the words 'm$' and 'M$' aren't replaced properly. Can anyone see a problem?

Yah, it's not like Microsoft is the bane of humanity or something. It really annoys me when people use things like "M$"

I'm kind of regretting the replacement, though. Those names are always a great way to recognize a troll.

lol, of all the words to filter you chose...

I won't use it then, that way somebody can recognise them ;)

That's the point...

How do you use it?

How do you use it?

If you're using Firefox, you can install greasemonkey and add it as a script, or something like that. I don't have greasemonkey, so I wouldn't know

Greatest waste of time. Evah.

Just my 2 cents.

you forgot doze :P

Why replace "MS"? That's a normal way of abbreviating Microsoft. That's like saying we must all say "Richard Matthew Stallman" not "RMS".

Indeed, what do we have to use thier stock name MSFT now???

LOL, I don't have a problem with any microsoft bashing anywhere.
However, the last place it would bother me is on a linux message board.

I'm a correctness freak. Microsoft is more exact than MS.
