An English language question?

[Dargil]

Should two words be banned from all usage?

Niggardly (stingy)

Niggling. (annoying)

What do you think?

[purplepoppy]

Those words were in use long before the N word and have nothing to do with it. They'll be trying to ban negroni next, it really niggles me.

[Dargil]

And Please do not outlaw the Linea Negra.

I think they are very hot. They come with pregnancy AND birth control pills.

NO! NO! NO!!! Language is a living thing and pruning/augmenting should occur naturally, not artificially!! This isn't the Ecole de Paris language police!!! It's a mongrel tongue and should reflect the good, bad & ugly.

It doesn't even follow its own rules. Hack it up.

[Chazmatazz269]

Nope, banning words and books is a demand for ignorance. There’s already plenty of that to go around. We don’t need to insist on more.

[IamRight]

Not those two words, they should be used. I don’t think we should ban words but if we have to, ban the word "transphobe"

[Dargil]

How about Homophobe? Fear of humans?

[FunkyMonkee]

No. Check the etimology. They might've been created long before the slavery of Africans.

[Dargil]

No doubt.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Not banned, but since most folk today can't define either word, it would behoove them to excise them from their vocabulary.

[Dargil]

Amazingly, I actually agree. I step a round them.

[dustybiker2]

Next it will be words like freedom and rights.
