How is the original comment harder to understand?
If there is one freedom people have is to control their language, wether to avoid certain words or to utter words that other find silly.
- DharmaPolice 5y agoCensored words are much more likely to be ambiguous. I wasn't referring to that specific example but now you mention it, p_n_s does take a fraction longer to understand than penis. And no-one is talking about taking away people's freedom. You can write all your emails in all caps if you want, but we can discourage people from doing that.
- philovivero 5y agoIn a previous sentence they mentioned TTP, then they mentioned P-n-s. I thought this was another acronym of sorts. Like "Posts not sexy" or whatever. I spent a couple seconds to figure out what it meant, failed, and just moved on. Figured out what it was supposed to mean from the replies.
