    I’m sorry if my list (oops, there’s another word–list) is kind of “stream of consciousness,” but set (and its related terms) is probably your best bet, at least from the perspective of mathematics. What is science?

    Does the F-word prove offensive? The answer depends on who you asked.

    I don’t use the F-word to be fair and openly honest. Therefore I don’t want the F-word used by someone else, and don’t want to use it myself. Frankly, I think the repeated–and sometimes habitual–use of the word serves only to reveal a lack of common decency, sensitivity, self-control, and a host of other commendable virtues.

    A deplorable desensitization has occurred in American culture over the past six-plus decades of my life, particularly in the area of cursing and scatological language. I knew no one meant the F-word to me as I was growing up, but the English equivalent was meant for kids, so that I could have used it as a joke or as a joke. I made the comment. Why did people bring couth when there were no coca seeds back then?

    Is it good at times to “push the envelope” of the current status quo in language usage? How is it possible to raise a social conscience? What was once called “separate but equal” in America now called what it really is called racism. What is progress? What happens to words that fall off of potty mouths?

    Personally, I enjoy expanding my vocabulary, thereby improving my ability to speak and write with greater understanding, clarity, depth, nuance, and more importantly–wait for it! What if I chose words that elevate, edify, encourage, entertain, and educate? Is it true that they also possess the power to debase, put down, discourage, titillate, and dumb down.?

    If I sound a bit gudish then so be it. How will the next US president become more prudish? I feel like one crying in the wilderness. People seem to not hear me. I can’t see the difference. I’m sure there are many more folks out there in Middle America who decry the indiscriminate use of obscenities. I ask my children and teens to speak up and make their voices heard. I encourage them to speak up only in private.

    Until a first amendment gets debated in the marketplace of ideas, do you ever know when our precious First Amendment gets discussed? I find all of my ideas irrational and heinous to be harmed. Now I can deal with them. What if someone said “I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to say it..if you live in prison, you have no other option.. I wish to be killed”? On

    the other hand, to even suggest that the torrent of obscenities so much in evidence today even approaches the same level as the freedom of speech envisioned by the framers of the First Amendment is ludicrous and unworthy of debate. It is part of the darkness that the light must expose for what it truly is: a blot on American culture.

  • Asked on April 8, 2021 in Word choice.

    When my professor says, “This book contains the equivalent

    of numerous ordinary chapters, but in the space of one extraordinarily dense chapter. Did

    the professor say what he meant by “pornagram? The professor has written in his words. How would he say this?

    “With the luxury of hindsight, it’s easy for us to unpack and re-phrase his words with more accuracy than he can be expected from a lecturer who may have used only an outline as the basis for his or her lecture.

    As for concentrated, condensed, that depends on. If it’s all good stuff, with very little–very little–fluff, then it’s concentrated. If fluff has been removed so that only the good stuff remains, then it’s condensed. I think a word or two is probably more accurate, and the wording of his and hers requires neither condensed nor concentrated.

    Does the book in question eschew chapter numbers in favor of one continuous string of prose? I look for something that makes sense (some pages include lines with the word “foil” ==(broad))?

    What are some truths about homosexuals?
