They’re gonna be reading a lot of medical papers just from banning the word “trauma,” to say nothing of common words like “female” and “black.”

I'm thinking "black" is kind of an important word in a lot of scientific applications that have nothing to do with medicine or biology.

ooh ooh. Im going to do a paper on the massive holes in the universe. Ill need something to replace the forbidden word so something like X or A. Ill go with A. Ok so these massive A holes are a common phenomenon in the universe.....
