<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 2292227, member: 5833&quot;]Think I know what the problem was with &#039;cants&#039;&nbsp; (when baby Hercules found snakes in his crib he strangled them) but have to confess I do not recognize the problem with Jasmine&#039;s new name.&nbsp; Funny about &#039;bad words&#039;.&nbsp; They&#039;re only bad if you have been taught they are &amp; people around you use them that way.&nbsp; Many an Englishman who wanted what we call an eraser has been teased for asking for a rubber.&nbsp; Many an American has tripped over Cockburn&#039;s.&nbsp; An English friend finds &#039;bottom&#039; a bit unseemly while in America, when we use it with the same meaning, it is considered polite.&nbsp; We don&#039;t use &#039;bum&#039; that much.&nbsp; So, nothing about the altered Jasmine bothers me.&nbsp; You can PM me if you want to explain in private.&nbsp; I&#039;m curious, academically of course.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]258127[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
