Okay, so, um, I don't suppose this is a point which needs to be made, but indulge me and read this article, and see if you can find the word in question, which is wholly relevant to the story and the issue the story outlines. See if the word appears there, in this story about the word. Yep, we're all intelligent grown-up human beings, not apes in suits. And just because we can't discuss a matter of virtually no importance without striking out particular words which offend us, doesn't mean that we will avoid or negate entire issues or viewpoints should they conflict with our beliefs. Thoughtful, inclusive dialogue is assured.

We're not apes in suits? Oh, you mean because not all of us are into more formal wear.

Polyester, baby!

I see there are two words in that article which are represented using the first letter and either a series of n-dashes or an m-dash.

And frankly, I could do with seeing the word 'Republican' regarded as impolite to print in full or say out loud for a while...

But according to a recent poll, that would eliminate over 24% of political dialogue in the southern states! Similarly, if the word "f------" were banned in Bono's country, those poor Dubliners would be at a loss for words, even those who didn't take it as a Papal edict not to reproduce. And think of poor Australia, which would implode into a vacuum of total aphasia.

Considering the consequences of this bill, I can only conclude that it is an instrument of America's aggressive foreign policy.

Ahhh... bigoted but amusing. But in your eagerness to denigrate those good old Southern boys, you're forgetting New York City, which, lacking the word in question, would seize up entirely, until emergency supplies of "freakin'" could be distributed by charity-minded Sicilians.

I have to admit I find all the dancing around the word to which you refer to be highly amusing.

F__k Bono for using the f__king F word....
It's f__king obscene to hear such f__king things on TV, when they could be showing cops f__king people up on the news!
