Expletive Destigmatization

Allowing, encouraging, and not penalizing anyone for using, in a private or public meeting, words considered to be "dirty" or "bad", such "shit" and "fuck".
The posters inviting people to a conference announced that at the conference everyone would be encouraged to use expletives. At the conference, when the conference's participants began using expletives most people were shocked.

However, using them everyone was able to define and comprehend and analyze the problem better, and propose better solutions than if no one had expressed themselves without using expletives.
After the meeting, the participants laughed and began talking among themselves using expletives such as "shit," "bullshit," "fuck," and its many derivatives.

The most common way expletives are destigmatized is by allowing and encouraging people to in private or public meetings use words which are considered "dirty" or "bad", such "shit" and "fuck".

In what events would it be best to allow people to use of expletives, and to achieve what?

Inverted Syllable English

This new, experimental, and highly creative type of English relocates and may even slightly change one or more syllables in a word, term, clause, or sentence to achieve an effect based on what a new word sounds like.
"Prefect Political Resentapration" is just one an example of Inverted Syllable English. Different effects are achievable depending on which syllables are moved because the new word which has had the position of one or more of its syllables changed might sound like an existing word. For example, to me, the word "resentapration" sounds like some kind of strange amphibian creature or some kind of strange action. The prefix, "resent" sounds like "resentment." And "pration" sounds like "aparition," predatory, preparation, apparition, etc.

time-money

The term emphasizes the fact that money and time are often interchangeable because most individuals earn a per/hour salary. Because unavoidably it must be used recuperating and preparing for work eating, sleeping, on the toilet, showering dressing, shopping, visiting a doctor or dentist, resting, playing, time not used earning a salary is also "time-money".
Concise, logical, effective communication saves time-money, boosts productivity and happiness. Illogical, inconcise, wordy/redundant thus ineffective communication produces confusion, frustration, powerlessness, anger and unhappiness, and drains time-money. Depending on who the individual worker is, in a year the seconds lost as a consequence of inconcise, illogical, ineffective communication ad up to hours, days, weeks, or months. Multiplying that lost time by millions of workers in a nation adds up to years, and those years translate to lost profits and lower the GPA. Do corporations prefer to dumb (down) the masses to sell more products and more junk than to direct schools to teach students to communicate correctly? Look around.
