There are also some cultural words that may offend or be known by some officials that are not known by others.

Or how about a game in which both teams are proficient in Spanish but only 1 of the 3 officials speaks Spanish?

We already have the tools to handle profanity and unacceptable language. It always going to come down to judgment and what is or isn't acceptable in the area you work.
