A student has come up with a way to combat bad language online through a "Pepper Mouth" concept that releases an undesirable smell when offensive words are typed.The design includes a red light that warns the user to stop using offensive words, and an atomiser that emits the odour if they continue to do so. The idea is to combat the use of improper language on social media sites, in particular by young people who may not appreciate the difference between what can be said in public and in private.On his website, designer Ozge Kirimlioglu writes: "The aim is to imitate my grandmother who would put peppers into my mouth when I used bad language as a kid."Maybe when your bad language disturbs you with a bad smell, you will start to understand that it might also have other, more serious consequences."Also the smell is very persistent to not leave. Just like things you type and send, it is there to stay. So you better watch it!"
