I Used a Bad Word!

Yesterday, I tried to use a Bad Word, and was told that I couldn’t post my Discussion until I changed it! Obviously, I won’t be able to tell you exactly what it was, because I won’t be allowed to, but it was the Latin word meaning “with” – and that was exactly how I was using it! Well, to be accurate, I was using it as a linking word, in place of a back slash (hey, I hope I’m allowed to use that one!), which is perfectly legitimate usage. It didn’t even occur to me that it had an improper meaning, until I googled it and found it in the urban dictionary! I must admit, I’m slightly shell-shocked. I have had a classical education, and do use such terms quite often. Perhaps I’m being punished for being archaic!
