What's next; banning certain letters from the alphabet, because they can be used for banned texts?

Erdoğan unbanned the letters Q, W and X, which can be used for Kurdish texts, in his 2013 reforms, so I think it'd be a bit too soon to re-ban them now already, so that's probably not next.
29 0 ReplyI had to look this up, but it is a fact that certain letters were banned. I should not be so amazed. Back in the 1960's the Greek junta banned the letter Z, because it meant 'he is alive.'

I can readily understand that someone like Ron would have no idea why anybody would ever use a dictionary. 😅
54 0 ReplyThe most confusing thing about dictionaries is why are they so torn on the topic of bridges?
My mom always has an “unabridged” version but mine is a regular dictionary complete with the word “bridge”.

Other places have gone after the bible where laws like this are in place.

7 0 ReplyMaybe they go after all Christian books ,you know the ones praising the glory of Yahweh, which is just a semitic war god (if you pay attention to history).

Once when I was a kid, our pastor gave a sermon. Something about lions.
But he mixed up how to spell lions. He was old. So all the Bible verses he used were actually about loins.
That was a funny lesson and complete waste of time.
But there are a lot of loins in the King James Version

I thought this was an onion article? Can someone confirm if this is satire? It doesn’t seem like a satire site but I still thought I would check. Because if not… I don’t even know what to say. I don’t even know.
