Hi j-t,

I'm probably the least sensitive person on this thread, but I have no issue here with your use of the word you dislike hearing.

Personally, I don't think hiding the word changes the history it represents. It isn't a word to use at someone. But to treat it as unmentionable gives it a power which I find uncomfortable.

Context matters.
