Would you use! in The odd entries from life …….

Some words we avoid, bastard is still used by some people but thankfully seldom aimed a children whose parents are not married; after all the married status of the parents is not the chose of the child.

Another word I would never use is the ‘N’ a word that comes from the Spanish and Portuguese negro – dark or black, the ‘N’ word comes from slave times particularly in the United States as an ethnic slur. Most people will not use that word knowing how offensive it is to those of black or dark skinned.

And why have I bothered to write this, it started from seeing an article about Donald Trump fans calling Hillary Clinton a ‘b’ A word that is seldom used by dog owners, twenty years ago it was common to call a female dog a bitch, and it very seldom used to a woman, if it used the user would receive a well earned clap across the face.

I have not written this to offensive any one be they coloured, female or male; I hope we will be polite to all, and I will not use those words again. My outlook is that the best of life are people, and better we get-on the better!
