Carefully, she typed in the words she wanted on the cake: “Congrats Jacob! Summa Cum Laude Class of 2018.”
Publix’s online system was unhappy with the word “cum.”
In Latin, cum is the preposition “with,” as in summa cum laude, “with the highest distinction.” To the little box on the Publix website, however, the word meant something else and its strict algorithm, vigilant for naughty words, returned a message that said “profane/special characters not allowed.” Cum, which contains no special characters, was deemed profane.
… [Jacob’s mother] said she then had to explain why the grocery store censored “cum” from Jacob’s cake to her 70-year-old mother.
