Today I am posting for the first time since I set this blog up in October 2009. I want to see how this goes. Just thoughts that run through my head of interest to me and maybe no one else.
Today I bought a used paperback Mark Twain book with several stories in it from Duval Books. Talking of Mark Twain stories, Huckleberry Finn is on my computer in e-book format. So, I searched for the offending word. It was there so many times I lost count. No wonder there is an effort to ban the book or change it to more acceptable language for today. That word is disgusting. It shows no respect for Jim at all. The word was used commonly in those days. I can't imagine in my mind that it was with respect that they used it then.
My 5 minutes are up so I will close for now. More tomorrow.
