Misusing words like "setup" vs "set up", or "login" vs "log in". "Anytime" vs "any time" also steams my clams.

I agree -- I feel like the slur filters make it harder to identify people who are racist/intolerant. Instead of saying the word, they find some other phrase or word that isn't immediately obvious as being unacceptable. You end up arguing the nuance (did they intend it that way...) instead of going "ok, they obviously typed that word and know what it means".
