Especially since cunt isn't even a swearword in English.
It is definitely an American who censored it.
It's an odd one because it wasn't even a word in common usage until about 50 years ago, so I don't understand where the Americans got their attitude from since it appears to have been entirely self-generated.
From Wikipedia
It goes back to at least the year 1230, and was excluded from the OED from the 18th century until 1960. So it wasn't just Americans.
My wife just told me otherwise.
