Google is not taking any chances and is censoring all profanity on their Nexus One speech-to-text engine.
They have replaced the most common swear words with ‘####’. Google wants to avoid any situation where the user pronounces a word and the speech-to-text engine misinterprets it and inadvertently tells your boss to go #### himself.
It may also be a good idea when telling ‘mom’ about the new truck, but not so good when telling off your ex. A better idea would have been an on/off option. ‘Censor on please’ when calling mom; ‘Censor off’ when calling the a######.
