So why is the a in "raping" and "raped" hidden, but then in the same article the word "rapist" is completely spelled out? The act itself is not allowed to be written but the person committing the act is OK. TIT....

If you read the Phuket Gazette article then the words raping & raped are spelled out. I can only think that the copied version to Thaivisa did not pass the word checker ??

Curious, as it didn't delete the "a" in either of your posts. But if I post dam_n, it does edit that word.What is the word checker; Christian? I'm just sayin'...

As to the article, I wonder who will get more prison time. The rapist or the drug dealer. I doubt we will get a follow up on either story, just the sensationalist headlines that sell papers.
