Gosh.. It's going to be tough to explain this one. Confused

I want to filter out some bad words from my forum. However, when users type in larger words that contain bad words, it will mess up these legimate words. For example:

bass turns into b[censored]
hello turns into [censored]o
assassin turns into [censored][censored]in
Uranus turns into Ur[censored]

Is there anyway around this?

Thanks in advance,

thataintchicken
