    Not allowing Miku Miku Beams is reasonable tbh. Firing one of those off can level cities.

    The concept of "banned words" (other than the offensive stuff, of course) in a classroom is so funny to me. There is no way that the person who came up with that wasn't the sourest loser ever.

    [–] beneeney@lemmy.zip 31 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    I always assumed (hoped) these were put up as jokes by the teachers. "Dang it Jeremy that's another one for the board!" type of banter.

    Try teaching middle school. You’ll understand. That being said, teachers mostly do this as a joke.

    Plus kids will find a way. Our english teacher didn't want us to say 'shit', but to use 'sugar' instead.

    There was a lot of 'bullsugar' and similar in that class.

    It says words, not phrases. So you're not allowed to use "I," "use," "by," "the," "way," or "and."

    My entire school had a banned words list they put on a board near the main door.

    I remember walking in past the board one morning only to get pulled back by a friend, he didn't say anything just stood pointing at the board....They added 'Milf' to the list of banned words.

    [–] palordrolap@fedia.io 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

    "N-words" plural? I can imagine edgy students going out of their way to avoid all words starting with that letter as a result of that rule, just to be difficult.

    The sign itself lacks words starting with that letter other than the rule which bans it, and the separate quoting of one word that has one in it somewhere suggests they're allowed as long as they're unspecified on the list (otherwise that entry would have been omitted), so it's entirely possible to misinterpret.

    On the other hand, avoiding all words starting with that letter seems like a fun idea, but will people even be able to tell? And it's surprisingly hard to express some concepts without it.

    [–] lime@feddit.nu 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

    i see what you're up to here. you've created your whole post without words that start with that particular letter. i do disagree that it's hard to express yourself without it however; it's perfectly possible, i'd say simple, actually, to completely erase the letter from your vocabulary. i'm able to get by perfectly well without a sole use of it, all with perfect legibility. yes, i'd go as far as to say that it's probably close to the bottom of the list of letters ~~when~~ if ordered by value. get rid of it, i say. to optimize the alphabet is to get our speech closer to the speed of thought. after that, we ~~can~~ will start to chip at the big boys; your time has come, S!

    [–] palordrolap@fedia.io 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    when

    can

    Almost. You did well, but it's too hard for me, except maybe for short phrases like this, which, regardless, still requires effort well above my comfort. It's the sixth most used letter by some measures. Seek out the typesetters' placeholder phrase where the first "word" has it as last (sixth), place, before the successor "SHRDLU", which show the order of the most used letters of, uh, latter-day British? Oof. Edit: Modified to avoid a superfluous usage.

    This hurts, so it's time for me to stop.
