Reply #262: by that standard

the n word would be non offensive too. I taught in two different all black schools in which young black men often called each other the n word. Encarta may not want to recognize it but I can say for a fact that I heard the n word from black males way, way more than I heard the b word from black females in the non offensive way. Incidently I didn't let either word be used in my room without a detention slip so I am referring to parking lots, halls and that sort of thing.

For the record, not that it matters, but I am male. You have made the implicit assumption that I was female on a couple of occassions.
