Hunter (head of the English department) and Student Bernice E. Gaines examined the freshman class, seniors and the faculty in Maryville College, a small co-educational institution in east Tennessee. They chose 62 words that once were or still are widely considered offensive, asked the students and teachers to indicate whether they used the words: 1) as freely as cat or dog, 2) with a feeling of being...
