Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
I have to admit I found this dialogue hard to follow in parts. I think it was perhaps because it was taken so far to the extreme, but maybe it's just my limited vocabulary. kay

Kay, mostly I was trying to put forth some satire on the subject of political correctness. Even I'm not sure what all the redacted words meant! Terry.
Comment from Ulla
Hi Terry, I really liked this funny piece, a very funny way to get around all the foul language. It really made me smile and I wish you the best of luck. Ulla:)

Terry,
This a well-crafted cleverly written entry in the Dialogue only contest. The use of words with hyphens that can be interpreted as commonly accepted language is very creative.
All the best in the contest,
Eugene

Comment from JT traveller
Clever, witty and entertaining. It took two readings to understand, "B-word, it rhymes with bug".
An enjoyable and carefully considered write. I congratulate you. Jacqueline

Dr. JT, I'm sure what all the redacted words were, LOL. A little satire for fun. Thanks for reading. Terry.

Satire is always appreciated. J xx
Comment from barbara.wilkey
Oh my! I'm not sure I know enough words to fill in all the alphabet words used here. I guess I need to up my vocabulary. This was fun to read and very creative. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Debi Pick Marquette
G'mornin Terry! Hahaha! I was wondering at first where the H-word this was going, but after a few more sentences I started to catch on. Funny and creative way to get a point across and to tell you the truth, in most situations, except when Glen P-words me off, I have no reasons to ever use those words. In a very desperate and rare occasion, only an F-word will help. But the truth is for me, that drives me crazy is when people use the GD or JC words. So I do love your take on this controversial subject and love your humor and dialogue! Spot on and Brilliant!!!
I was wondering if you wanted the word 'an' in your first sentence before A-word and something at the end of your first sentence. I am not 100% on your meaning, but I am guessing you maybe meant to put another article word right before 'you really are.'

Debi, thank you for the six-star review and for catching the missing word, and you are right. I thought this was just a bit of fun. Terry.

It was a lot of fun and very well written. I love your creative thinking and writing, especially I love the humor you always add.
That is always my deal breaker when writing. If I know my ending's going to have humor or a twist, then I am good to write it. But I hate tackling anything without having my ending picked out first and yours was great.
Comment from karenina
Terry, you have appropriately skewered both extremes of redacted education.
In an age where "non offensive education" has become a battle for "woke" and "cancelled" there seems to be no middle ground for dialogue, honest exchange of ideas, or opposing views being laid out and examined.
Seems redaction is only as effective as the redactor...
(actor being the operative portion of that word)
I well remember the heated debates on social issues from my college days!
(There were no micro aggression safe spaces... but concepts were explored and examined!)
The pendulum swings far and wide...
Somehow pronouns are the new profanity!

Comment from Wayne Fowler
A piece my wife would agree with every word unspoken (unwritten).
Me too.
I had to read it fast, expecting it to be lit afire or banned.
You might be missing an indefinite article in the first sentence.
Best wishes.

Comment from damommy
How clever you are! You got the point across without using vulgar language. I find the hard core words very offensive and never see the need for much more than a damn or a hell. I love the S-word for brains. I'm going to use some of these. hahahahaha

😁 Thanks.
Comment from GWHARGIS
Bwahaha. Love how this shows the power of words. It's never the feeling behind the D word. Every word seems to offend someone somewhere. A very clever and comical look at a very sad and tedious time. Hopefully, this woke group who police our every breath will take a much needed nap soon. Lol. Gretchen
