Or, perhaps, if I'm playing with players all of whom are in a certain group -- the group could have that "policy bit" on it.• Which browser are you using?

This would simultaneously address the problem of over-policing of non-english words as well as allowing more "natural" banter among friends. Sure, it won't handle the general case of non-English words which end up getting flagged as English, but playing among strangers requires more decorum anyway.
Let us decide, in certain contexts at least, when to take the seatbelts off.

Honestly, this is not enough. The filter just needs to be disabled globally, or should at the very least be optional.

I disagree with the suggestion that the filter be disabled among strangers, but fully support the idea of disabling it when everyone at the table is a friend.

Agree. I am a stereotypically nice user, an older mom who has never caused any trouble with my online behavior - my friends and I do not trash talk - and a native speaker of English - and I still get these warnings!! Most recently for saying I was 'screwing up' in a game. The filter is turned up WAY too high. I also understand that it filters out innocent words in other languages.

(while I'm not big on trash talking, myself, I am totally in favor of allowing it among consenting players)
