As any sin passes through its stages from temptation, to toleration, to approval, its name is first euphemized, then avoided, then forgotten.

No doubt there is much personal selection, as with a gardener: what one throws on one's personal compost-heap; and my mold is evidently made largely of linguistic matter.
