You've got to be kidding me

How dare you use the “ph” word!!!

Yossarian, is that you?

I worked for an educational publishing company and did editing and “fairness review” research. It made me crazy! I had to send copies of the test to twenty-some people (equally both sexes, some black, some white, some native american, some hispanic, some handicapped, etc.) and they would comment on each question on the test. If the question mentioned driving to the store, the Native American teacher said the reservation kids couldn’t relate. They couldn’t relate to foods, certain clothing, places, etc. No wonder we have a nation of idiots. They’re never exposed to anything but their own back yard. Unbelieveably, we couldn’t use the word “joy” to mean happy, because it’s used in religious music. I shit you not.

Hey! I don’t think you can say that! “Oh” and “gah” are expressions of emotion…we can’t have that, now can we? “Og” is calling upon a form of God…how dare you? And the word “stupidist”…that is expressing stupidism! And you’ve “heard” it? What about the children that can’t hear? They can’t fully grasp the concept of you hearing it! :smiley:

What about those afflicted with neuro-muscular disorders who can’t physically “grasp” anything. Should your post be deemed offensive to them? Bah!

As previously stated, should everyone be allowed to identify all that they find offensive, once the great Submit key is pressed, you’ll be looking at a blank screen.

Searching for a non-offensive epithet…

She must vote for Democrats.
