[Blindtlk] Blind Yankees fan honored at Tuesday's game

[Graves, Diane]

I would say that it falls into most definitions of profanity. It doesn't matter that it was spelled wrong, the intent and meaning were there. I'll leave that to the discretion of our moderator though. But it is offensive to some, and I don't believe this list is any place for it. Curse all you want in your own venue, but the list is a place for cultural considerations.

what profanity, the word dam first it was spelled wrong and second it is not 
a bad word.
