        Most probably yes. …i didn’t expect things to go this bad so quickly. But you were right.

    They’re gonna be reading a lot of medical papers just from banning the word “trauma,” to say nothing of common words like “female” and “black.”

      I’m thinking “black” is kind of an important word in a lot of scientific applications that have nothing to do with medicine or biology.

    Further proof that the people making the rules have no clue what they’re regulating.

    Anybody who has read an academic/science paper knows that the authors go all out with their $5 and $10 words. Make no mistake, they can find some of the best alternatives to any word, and will have no problem sidestepping this blacklist.
