I've found a very effective solution, when you see a post that has a censored word, first click on the "Quote" button and you can then see what the uncensored word was.
It you think that post is a very good example of a context in which that word should not be censored, then click on the "Report" button, and write a polite message to the Admins asking them to consider adjusting the list to allow that word. I think having an example of everyday usage in context is a great way to make an argument that it shouldn't be censored.
I've done this several times (and earlier today), and in all cases the list was adjusted, and it was done relatively quickly. I think reporting it like that is a much more effective way to address it than starting discussions and new threads about a single word.
I really appreciate how the admin has been very reasonable and responsive to these reports.
To me, reporting on a case by case basis seems more effective than trying to review the entire list and make arguments about each word. I'm glad that the admins have been willing to accommodate these requests.
