ways as well.

we can proceed with our plan to pro
vide other musicals and plays here.
We are so encouraged, in fact, that

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broader historical reference who know the name by its Hispanic origin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.
