If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?
Photographers, artists, poets: show us NO
No Ban!
I can’t do it! Words should never be banned. Not even despicable words like the N word or the B word.
Freedom of Speech, Bitches!
Amendment 1. “Congress shall make no law respecting and establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise therof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”
We, the people, are free to say any word. While there are plenty of pie-holes out there I’d like to shut, I wouldn’t take away anyone’s right to free speech. Besides, I like watching them go down in flames, when they’ve chosen hateful, unwise words.
There’s only one ban I would recommend.

Let’s censor censorship. I like it.

I totally agree with you – also for those choosing to use hateful and unwise words – we that are listening can just stop hearing them. I like your recommendation of ban.
