... Cory Doctorow used the word "suasion" on Twitter today. In a post having to do with a parent who objected to his book Little Brother - not because of the teen protagonist's attempts to subvert homeland security, not because of the explicit descriptions of torture, no. Because of the off-camera loss of virginity. Then he couldn't respond to the parent because of a school firewall that blocked anything with the word 'sexual' in it.
So, yeah, all that too. But I was jazzed that he used the word 'suasion.' On Twitter. Which is usually so jammed with #s and shorthand it's bloody unreadable.
Oh, yeah, and there's something kind of iffy about a school that won't allow the word 'sexual.' Isn't school supposed to be where we all get The Talk these days?
