Weather Report Words, Words, Words and More Words As you may have gathered from reading one or more installments under my by-line, words are a mighty impor tant part of what Ido. As much as I tty, I don’t get them all right all the time. But, as I say, I try. I am also keenly aware of how others use words. Even symbols that are in tended to communicate. I type on a computer, using a word processor pro gram. More and more people do the same. One of the things a computer can do is store, in electronic memory, verything you write. I got a letter today with the notation on the very bottom that looked like lis: D/janup/RDS/orbled/tum/geded.opy. Well, my goodness. I recognized that the author of my letter had it stored a his computer and that the notation was the address of that letter, telling jst where in his electronic memory it was stored. So when I wrote back, • _ -l-. j-j a . to the resDonse writes back, he might say: “ In reply to your C:/word/dam/FEG/jim.rsp, please refer to my D:/janup/RDS/orbled/bjrk/gedde.ops. ” Then I would respond: “ Read your D:/janup/RDS/orbled/bjrk/geed.ops(version 2.2) and still think you are qrxpjd.” We don’t have to get into the computer jargon to have trouble with the language. At last week’s hearing on the proposed Coyote Springs Co- Generation plant to be built in Boardman there was more debate over the pronunciation of the name than anything else. The local historians in the crowd lobbied for ‘kiot since that appears to be the pronunciation of the former railroad siding near the proposed plant site. The folks with a broader historical reference who know the name by its Hispanic origin preferred to say Ki’oto. And this matter of pronunciation has the United States Senate and much of the rest of the nation divided over the pronunciation of harassment. Some folks prefer the extension of the more usual form of the root wrod: he- ‘ras-ment. But a seemingly equal number like the pronunciation ‘har-es-ment. The split over the pronunciation of the term seems to be about the same as the split over whether it occurred or not, a subject which we will not discuss here. There’s another flap going around about words. Seems that a young man was disciplined at one of our schools for saying “ f~k” . And we think, correctly so. But when his teacher assigned the class to read a story that included the word “ f - ing” the s -t hit the fan, so to speak. (Yes, the “ s - t ” word was in the story too.) Yes, I read the story and found it to be a serious, meaty tale about an important subject and that it had a sur prising, but believable turn. It is a fine example of the short story art form on a current subject of some magnitude. The offensive words were used once each, in conversation, and most appropriately so. Parents raised the roof because of an apparent double standard. If a stu dent cannot say the word, then teachers should not be allowed to assign the reading of a story that includes that word. Pretty good argument. There are plenty of words that are not appropriate for general use in the spoken language, particularly in public, and I applaud the schools’ ef forts to teach that very thing. On the other hand, when we start censoring written works because they may have objectionable words we can get in trouble pretty easily. For example “ Uncle Tom’s Cabin” and the “ Adventures of Tom Sawyer” have been removed from many school libraries because they con tain a word which we now label as a derogatory term for people of color. I could imagine the ultra-conservatives in their zeal to separate church from state demanding that every piece of written material that includes the word “ God” be removed from public schools. Or the zealous women's libbers demanding that every work that includes the word “ Lady” be burn ed. (Oh, haven’t you heard that some libbers think “ lady” is degrading to all women in that it refers to “ ladies of the night?” ) The danger is that once you start the process, there is no place to end. Ideas, concepts, matters of the mind simply cannot be controlled through the use of words. Sexual intercourse (and that’s not what f-k means anymore) is a fact of life. We cannot change that by excising the words that they convey the idea. by City of Heppner Oct. 9 - 15, High Low Tues. 72 40 78 42 Weds. 80 43 Thurs. 80 47 Fri. 77 42 Sat. 73 41 Sun. 78 47 Mon. 1991 Prec Rain .0 .0 .0 .0 .0 .0 .0 Oddfellows to hold convention The Umatilla-Morrow District Oddfellows convention will be held at Heppner Saturday.
