Canadian schools ban the word...
Canadian schools ban the word 'gun': "The word gun was banned from spelling tests in one school only and not across the Upper Canada District School Board, board officials said Tuesday. Terry Simzer, the Brockville-based board's public relations officer, said the word was removed from Grade 1 spelling lists at Lombardy Public School where a complaint originated from a parent, not from all schools as had been widely reported.
