We can go on and on about the stupidity of Enable, but the only thing that bothers me really is racist words and slurs that have no other meaning. They are offensive, and words like hiree are not, so we need to trade up dictionaries.

10:47 am

To me, a word is only offensive when it is used pejoratively at someone. There, the offense is intended. A word standing alone in a dictionary or a word game is just acknowledgment that it exists. There is no offense intended in that.
10:53 am
EvaNadine
well.
what a way to announce my arrival!

Molly, would you feel the same if the n word was used?

10:57 am
Kaplan the Magne
Some of these words might be objective to you but painful for others, is all. I don't think they are un the scrabble dictionary.
10:58 am
Kaplan the Magne
I learned that hebe, which is definitely a slur- look it up- is also a small bush or plant, so it has another meaning.
11:00 am
Kaplan the Magne
I know I pontificate on this a lot, but dago and jew as a verb are problematic. I think spic probably has another meaning- I can look it up easily. Wetback would not be nice to find.
11:01 am
MollyL
The n word is accepted in Enable. And yes I would feel the same way. There is no offensive intention when a word is in a word list, dictionary or word game.
11:02 am
MollyL
If you are offended by a word because someone calls you that, I understand. If you are offended by a word because you see it in print, I don't.

I have never seen pronouns and gender as something that I need to announce or declare, but others do, and it makes an uninclusive statement when I don't use she/her/hers.
11:13 am

I have gotten to the point where I will only refer to people as you or by their name. I can't deal with all of the "labels" and pronouns. It's gotten absurd.

11:14 am

I have trouble with they as a singular. Who are we talking about? Them or them?
11:14 am
MollyL
I can stay on the road. I'm not using anything "non-inclusive" by saying you or using a name.
11:15 am
TQ
I would never mean to hurt or offend anyone, and I apologise if I say the wrong thing, but I must admit I sometimes find it confusing which words are acceptable. Not the n word obviously and similar I'm not that thick! But I'm not always sure what is right and wrong.
11:15 am
Kaplan the Magne
It does change.

I just assume everything is offensive. If people have become offended by Dr. Suess, well, offensive is the name of the game.

Words are inanimate tools that people use, they can indeed be used as weapons but that only works if the recepient takes them to heart. Offense can be found in anything if you go looking for it.
