[Ads-l] mild language

[James A. Landau]

I just enjoyed seeing the move Amazing Grace (the 2006 movie about William Wilberforce, not the 2018 Aretha Franklin movie).

The movie was rated PG for "thematic material involving slavery, and some mild language".

The "language" was mostly the use of the N-word (by participants in the slave trade).

Mild?

PS:  from my daughter-in-law: "I asked the librarian for a book on Pavlov's dog and Shroedinger's cat.  She said it rang a bell, but she didn't know if it were there or not".
