I assume the word is from the Latin molestare "to disturb, trouble, annoy." Language-enforcer bots are fairly stupid. There is a Latin phrase that means with praise or distinction and is often used as an honorific with a degree earned, sometimes with other modifiers such as summa or magna. Use it here and see the bot-bleep: "He graduated **bleep** laude. from Indiana University. 🙄

LOL I wouldn’t have learned the correct spelling of that word had I not attempted to use ___ laude once.
The bots policing feedback comments were worse. They often bewildered … and eventually bemused … eBay members by Bleeping words formed by combining ‘letters at the end of one word with those at the beginning of the next word’:
“I wish it were a smaller size.”
”The pen is the wrong color.”
There even was a word that was Bleeped whenever it appeared within another word:
hyperventilate
I see that all three examples still go through unmolested by the Khoros bots. 😋 😊
