The concept of “banned words” (other than the offensive stuff, of course) in a classroom is so funny to me. There is no way that the person who came up with that wasn’t the sourest loser ever.
Plus kids will find a way. Our english teacher didn’t want us to say ‘shit’, but to use ‘sugar’ instead.
There was a lot of ‘bullsugar’ and similar in that class.
yeah this just basically “come up with a bunch new things that’ll annoy us”
I remember that the vice principal of our Christian high school was annoyed with us saying ‘gosh darn’, and made the mistake of telling us, “If you’re going to say ‘gosh darn’, you might as well say ‘god damn’, because that’s what you really mean, and the Lort knows your heart.”
… We all just started flat-out saying ‘god damn’ like we were told.
Try teaching middle school. You’ll understand. That being said, teachers mostly do this as a joke.
I’m a school bus driver and we’re supposed to not allow foul language. It’s only a problem on the middle school runs, and it’s not really worth the effort on my part to do anything about it. I’m just happy when I can unload all the kids and nothing has been set on fire.
“What’s the matter Lisa? You’re usually the first one out of this deathtrap!”

Good Luck out there! Keep your sanity! I’m pulling for you!
School bus driving— Mixing truck driving with zoo keeping…
That’s a great description - except zoo keepers have bars and glass plates to protect them from the animals.
I always assumed (hoped) these were put up as jokes by the teachers. “Dang it Jeremy that’s another one for the board!” type of banter.
It often is. Teachers understand those kids need to have something that they can call their own. Every generation does these things with language.
But I’m sure there are some teachers out there that foolishly try to squash the words.
Also of all the words banned, there is only one they are not allowed to spell
I remember one of my teachers banning “doh!”. It didn’t last very long.
foul language and N-words
All of them? 🤔
How you gonna teach English without being able to teach nouns?

nounswords which describe people, places or things?FTFY, you dirty n-word user you.
What is your favorite distro and why is it Arch?
Wiki and pacman
Honestly 2 amazing reasons.
Yeah pacman is a fun game and the wiki for it is great /s
I get to break shit and it’s my own, perfectly avoidable fault and not the work of some careless greybeard on another continent.
Not allowing Miku Miku Beams is reasonable tbh. Firing one of those off can level cities.
Isn’t it the one that shoots black holes?
red ellipsoid
I use stretch-ed Debian btw
I hope it doesn’t have a gaping security hole
Pointing at whitespace and showing ominous going on with the letters contained in the ellipsoid
noo not miku miku beam >.<
you still have miko miko nurse and neko miko reimu at least?
foul language and n words
All the words that start with n are banned
Noooooooo!!!
Oh, sorry…
Ooooooooooo!!!
I shall say ‘Ni!’ again
Alas, sir knight…
I demand a shrubery
I like how foul language etc is halfway down the list
I don’t not use Arch, by the way

“N-words” plural? I can imagine edgy students going out of their way to avoid all words starting with that letter as a result of that rule, just to be difficult.
The sign itself lacks words starting with that letter other than the rule which bans it, and the separate quoting of one word that has one in it somewhere suggests they’re allowed as long as they’re unspecified on the list (otherwise that entry would have been omitted), so it’s entirely possible to misinterpret.
On the other hand, avoiding all words starting with that letter seems like a fun idea, but will people even be able to tell? And it’s surprisingly hard to express some concepts without it.
it says n words they’re allowed to have one
i see what you’re up to here. you’ve created your whole post without words that start with that particular letter. i do disagree that it’s hard to express yourself without it however; it’s perfectly possible, i’d say simple, actually, to completely erase the letter from your vocabulary. i’m able to get by perfectly well without a sole use of it, all with perfect legibility. yes, i’d go as far as to say that it’s probably close to the bottom of the list of letters
whenif ordered by value. get rid of it, i say. to optimize the alphabet is to get our speech closer to the speed of thought. after that, wecanwill start to chip at the big boys; your time has come, S!when

Almost. You did well, but it’s too hard for me, except maybe for short phrases like this, which, regardless, still requires effort well above my comfort. It’s the sixth most used letter by some measures. Seek out the typesetters’ placeholder phrase where the first “word” has it as last (sixth), place, before the successor “SHRDLU”, which show the order of the most used letters of, uh, latter-day British? Oof. Edit: Modified to avoid a superfluous usage.
This hurts, so it’s time for me to stop.
FUCK
Thanks, chatgpt, it’s always so meaningful to hear what you have to say.
i don’t know if you’re being ironic but that does make me sad to hear. took me like 25 minutes and i still messed it up, but i had fun writing it all out and i hoped others would find it fun to. that my writing is apparently that soulless is disheartening.
fwiw i would never post llm output unmarked. i don’t think people deserve that.
Looks like they banned how to use image editing software as well.
It says words, not phrases. So you’re not allowed to use “I,” “use,” “by,” “the,” “way,” or “and.”
They really hate “Miku” so they added it twice
Me utilises masonry bow, coincidentally
Why use many word when few word do trick.
That would actually be an interesting challenge for an English class.
I was already gonna make fun of the useless red circle, you didn’t need to misplace it lol
All words starting with N are banned I guess, like I use *ixOS btw
Niagara Falls and Nebraska. Any children whose names start with N - sorry little Neighthan, Nanceigh, and Naruto.
