 * Okay, so I currently have a censor installed. Here is the current code:
 *     ```
       <?php

               while(strstr(strtolower($finalremove),strtolower($patterns[$x]))) {
               # find &amp; remove all occurrence

               if ($safety >= 100000) { break; }
   
               $occ=strpos(strtolower($finalremove),strtolower($patterns[$x]));
               $piece_front=substr($finalremove,0,$occ);
               $piece_back=substr($finalremove,($occ+strlen($patterns[$x])));
               $finalremove=$piece_front . $piece_replace . $piece_back;
               } # while
   
           }
       	return $finalremove;
       }
       add_filter('comment_text','profanity_comment_filter');
       ?>
       ```
   
 * As you can see, I manually enter the curse words to be censored. The problem 
   is, when someone posts something with a bad word inside it, such as “class” it
   appears on my blog as “cl[censor]”. Is there another code I can add to that file
   to make a special “always allow” list? Thanks in advance!
