I used to banish the word "fair" from my classroom. I enjoined students to say whatever they really meant... Usually "I don't like this situation [that is at least partly of my own making]." or "The rules in effect do not favor me." or "I wish I were a special exception."

Well, it is four letters and it does start with an F. I'm surprised it's making it past the delicate cuss-word scrubbers for the especially sensitive as it is. I don't think we need any more endangered words on this system.
But I would like to suggest that new forum users sit through a four-hour instructional video and that repeat offenders (people who post on topics that already have 300 active threads) spend some hard time in a simulator learning to use this thing before posting:

What an unfair thing to do to the word "fair."
LOL.
(Haven't finished my first cup of coffee, yet. Feelin' a tad "rascal-ish.")

You can't say there wasn't fair warning.

I don't think the motion goes far enough. I'd like to see it prohibited everywhere, until its use reverts to meaning treating everyone the same. Practices and policies that treat everyone the same are egalitarian. Those that don't, aren't.
