    When I first heard this, I thought it was a lie. No reasonable person should follow this order. It’s dangerous and bigoted. http://www.cnn.com/2017/12/16/health/cdc-banned-words/index.html …

        On the flipside, scientists are wicked smart. They're like scientist-smart, yanno? And they'll find some friggin' awesome synonyms, or other obfuscating methods to say what needs to be said. I hope reporters on the science beat will bring them to our attention.

        It's worse than that. I'm not even sure what it's called but it's the beginning of something horrific.

        No one should follow this insanity- but be afraid of the weak-willed people in the chain esp Alison Kelly who 'just followed orders' as much as we need to fear the psychopaths that want to ban words

        Anything to di with Russia has bee banned from PDB and IC reports. Tells whole story right there. Corporate lobbyists, theocray, now this. And it's every day. More of democracy being destroyed. A tax bill that reads like it was written by Trump's tac accountants and lawyers.

        I suspect that an administration dictum banning all polysyllabic words will be forthcoming.
