Remember th...Sean Rackley: I like your article, BB. Remember that dictionaries (and language itself) change with the culture. Your “swipe” example is one case. “Jedi” and “muggle” (the HP variety, not the geocaching kind) are now in the Oxford English dictionary (really?!). We borrow words from other languages, invent new words (I read about “canola” oil this morning), and have even begun accepting some textese as valid words. Heck, slang (both the word and the category of words described) has been around for generations. All these are finding their way into dictionaries. These books aren’t the opinion-free reference authorities they used to be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7304841.post-87024041181507570222017-10-26T14:04:23.035-05:002017-10-26T14:04:23.035-05:00Larry Houston My first thought when I read this wa...Larry Houston My first thought when I read this was, the Baytown Sun will never print this as written due to slander/libel issues.

Simply put a racist is someone that thinks their race is better than another<br /><br />Sam Compton: Maybe you didn’t use enough, “allegedly”, “a reliable source”, and “an insider leaked” phases. And you didn’t bash any conservative. Have you stopped writing false accusations yet?<br /><br />Gary Black Was the one doing the c̶e̶n̶s̶o̶r̶i̶n̶g̶ redacting named Yossarian by any chance?<br /><br />Gigi VaDonna People don’t like hearing the truth<br /><br />Robert Duke we all do things that are self-inflicted don't you think?<br /><br />Terri Baker As A woman I am appalled at the absolute lack of common sense that is put forth by liberal media. Example is one actress was crucified because she said she dressed and acted in a way that didn’t invite sexual advances. She was immediately attacked for making it the woman’s fault and the way a woman acts, looks, or dresses has nothing to do with the way she should be treated. You are right on with your article at least the un-redacted one.<br /><br />Virginia Mitchell Compton They cut out the whole part about Bill Cosby which made more sense of what you were trying to say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7304841.post-83840730541554375112017-10-26T07:54:24.007-05:002017-10-26T07:54:24.007-05:00BH: Hello Bert.

Please capitalize God...<br />Other than that, I undestand what you are conveying. Good article<br /><br />Pat Oldham Direct and to the point as the play of words going on is chaos and then some.<br /><br />Kimberly Clark Lopez I can envision the red lines all over this article. You pushed the edge on a lot.<br /><br />Steve Liles Its OK if you didn't leave your hair dryer at Weinsteins house. Bert is doing what I like. Telling it like he sees it. That's how I roll. BS can roll it up and smoke it. Its out now. WTG Berts<br /><br />Bruce Marshall Clear, concise, true.<br /><br />Teresa Hall Wow! Great job<br /><br />Regina Hammons Reed These things need to be said. If you don’t like the heat, get out of the kitchen! I think the more perverted it is the better the world likes it!!<br /><br />Bruce Marshall Don't be too "chapped" that your article was redacted. You did go "willingly into the lair of a spider" with this submission.<br /><br />Kristin Ter Kuile Howell I think it’s a great article but it would sure stir up a pot in the least. It’s amazing how media can stir their own pots and ignite certain fires but put away the real pots that need stirred.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7304841.post-11477029043422289412017-10-26T07:47:48.845-05:002017-10-26T07:47:48.845-05:00TK: I read the paper every morning and what I have...TK: I read the paper every morning and what I have noticed it's becoming more and more liberal, so if it pushes to hard they definitely not printing it.
