About
About Scunthorpe
Scunthorpe () is an industrial town in Lincolnshire, England, and the county's third most populous settlement after Lincoln and Grimsby, with a population of 81,286 in 2021. It is the administrative centre and largest settlement of the North Lincolnshire district.
The name Scunthorpe, which means 'Skuma's outlying farm/settlement', caused problems when in 1996 residents were creating accounts with AOL, as it contains a four-letter "indecency" which the software blocked. There are many similar problems; short of full Artificial Intelligence, it is exceedingly difficult for software to recognise obscenity, threats, disinformation or other problematic text. The generic name computer scientists use for this whole class of problems is the "Scunthorpe problem". Some travellers might want to visit the town just for that reason.
