I don't know if I agree on that. Respect for others should play a part in how we speak. Though ps is quite common in our language, I remember my mom requesting we didn't use this word. Bch is also allowed by the FCC as anyone who watches prime time TV knows, rarely to decribe a female dog. I am offended that such a demeaning word toward women is okay and mainstream. Here at the forums, if you know a word disturbs someone, why should it be such an issue to refrain from using it? Little efforts like this can actually be the beginings to more peaceful relations between people. A simple request that requires so little from others should not be trashed just because your opinion differs. Ron, I will try to remember not to use that word. Also, preview often sends the entire message to the netherworlds, so I tend to skip it. Maybe a spellcheck here would be nice.
