Origin of the word “cum” @oosterwal: Acknowledged. 'Scum' did come* to mean ejaculate in some contexts, but not, apparently, in a timeframe that would have influenced this spelling. [* No pun intended. Really.] |

Is there a correct gender-neutral, singular pronoun (“his” versus “her” versus “their”)? "Singular 'they' enjoys a long history" indeed! It was good enough for King James, it's good enough for me: itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/003485.html |

Is it Web site or website? @Alex, that would explain the ringing in my ears every time I look at it. Please forgive my contrived example, but I'm leaving it because I can't think of a better one. |

Why is “ass” considered obscene? +1 "Why is any word considered obscene?" My sister refuses to say "butt" when referencing anatomy. She says "bottom." |
