aventari posted:edit: also saying stuff like 'r-word' 'n-word' etc is such a cop out. It's just playing a semantic game of saying the word without actually saying it. You put the word in the readers head the same as if you said it you're just too chicken-poo poo to admit it. If you want to have an adult discussion, just do it without the tiptoeing around. I'm a huge fan of not having words like that driven into my brain via text or any other medium and while encoding it slightly doesn't help a ton, it does help a bit. The beginning of your post, for example, was unnecessary.

Jesus III posted:It's fun watching the word that used to be the right word become the wrong word. I hope I live long enough to see it happen over and over. Language is amazing. If you haven't read it yet I recommend The Power of Babel by John McWhorter
