- limw 8y agoI agree.so ,we should delete the word from dictionary,sue those who dare say the word,spy on everyone to find out who even dare to think about this word.
- comesee 8y agoThe word kill is also pretty offensive. Police kill many people of color daily. Slaves were killed by their owners. I think more inclusive verbs are disable or quiesce.
