There are no asterisks in Ancestry

As title - no response required!

I am Zoe Northeast, granddaughter of Maximilian Double.
 
It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,
Zoe

Great minds think alike, MaxD!

I have often wondered why people spell Ancestry with asterisks? ???

Putting asterisks around *words* in comments makes the word bold, bringing the reader's attention to the said word.

It's not that ,Malky. It's people who refer to Ancestry as A*c*y (or similar), as if it's forbidden.

Do you think it's "BBC" mentality?! - Mustn't mention a brand name, even if all the world knows what you are writing about? :-\

It's just plain stupid! ;D

I think some people do it because of the copyright infringement, as in we can't post 1911 census results etc, they may think you cannot mention Ancestry as it may infer you are doing something wrong.................................................. I used to a long time ago  :-[  ;D
