I am aware of the correct use of Forums but when I posted the word I presumed it would be adjusted automatically. However, when the post was actually put on the Forum the word was shown in full as I had typed it and had NOT been adjusted, I therefore presumed (incorrectly as it would seem) that it was NOT a banned word.
I am sure that as an intelligent person you would realise that the use of the "b" word is NOT always meant to represent "illegitimate" and is, in fact a word used in general parlance to refer to
certain people. The use "illegitimate" in this case placed a reflection on my Parents and myself and with the addition of the word "son" became personal and more insulting than the use of the word itself.
Children now, have a vocabulary of words that generally include the "f" word and almost every other expletive known to man.
The "b" word is, in fact, in the Oxford English, and every other Dictionary I possess, so I cannot see why its use should be disallowed.
In future I will be somewhat more careful when posting to this Forum.
I now request again for the offensive words to be removed.
