Yes-- and i hate the idea of censorship-- but i could see the use for a dictionary of proscribed words..
I was "protected" from exposure to some words as a child-- and did my best to protect my children (but alas, their paternal grandfather used them.) My parent didn't object to much to the "classic bad words" and for Dr Bill, i'll write them as the NYTimes and other publications do, f***, s***, and such ilk. Rather it was words that were hurtful-- ethic slurs are one major category of such words.. I would gladly see such words added to a proscribed word list..
