I wonder is some PC nut is ever going to try to ban school kids from playing hangman. Should it be “hangperson”? Or just an outright ban because capital punishment is “wrong”? Or maybe some kid might have bad dreams because they caused some stick figure to die a horrible death?
Gil: Unfortunately, it could happen. Let kids be kids, they like monsters and ‘hangman’, etc. Such play helps them to deal with fears in a manner they can handle.
