Pointing at whitespace and showing ominous going on with the letters contained in the ellipsoid
"N-words" plural? I can imagine edgy students going out of their way to avoid all words starting with that letter as a result of that rule, just to be difficult.
The sign itself lacks words starting with that letter other than the rule which bans it, and the separate quoting of one word that has one in it somewhere suggests they're allowed as long as they're unspecified on the list (otherwise that entry would have been omitted), so it's entirely possible to misinterpret.
On the other hand, avoiding all words starting with that letter seems like a fun idea, but will people even be able to tell? And it's surprisingly hard to express some concepts without it.
i see what you're up to here. you've created your whole post without words that start with that particular letter. i do disagree that it's hard to express yourself without it however; it's perfectly possible, i'd say simple, actually, to completely erase the letter from your vocabulary. i'm able to get by perfectly well without a sole use of it, all with perfect legibility. yes, i'd go as far as to say that it's probably close to the bottom of the list of letters ~~when~~ if ordered by value. get rid of it, i say. to optimize the alphabet is to get our speech closer to the speed of thought. after that, we ~~can~~ will start to chip at the big boys; your time has come, S!
Thanks, chatgpt, it's always so meaningful to hear what you have to say.

when
can
Almost. You did well, but it's too hard for me, except maybe for short phrases like this, which, regardless, still requires effort well above my comfort. It's the sixth most used letter by some measures. Seek out the typesetters' placeholder phrase where the first "word" has it as last (sixth), place, before the successor "SHRDLU", which show the order of the most used letters of, uh, latter-day British? Oof. Edit: Modified to avoid a superfluous usage.
This hurts, so it's time for me to stop.
FUCK
it says n words they're allowed to have one
I like how foul language etc is halfway down the list
What is your favorite distro and why is it Arch?
Wiki and pacman
Honestly 2 amazing reasons.
Yeah pacman is a fun game and the wiki for it is great /s
I get to break shit and it's my own, perfectly avoidable fault and not the work of some careless greybeard on another continent.
foul language and N-words
All of them? π€
How you gonna teach English without being able to teach nouns?
How you gonna teach English without being able to teach ~~nouns~~ words which describe people, places or things?
FTFY, you dirty n-word user you.
The Italian brain rot really got me tho. Tung tung tung tung tung... Sahur!
Sorry Iβm an old. What is Tung tung tung tung
The all knowing robot told me it's meant to mimic the sound of heavy running.
Considering some of the other banned words on the list, some fat kid is getting bullied in that class.
That thing at the bottom of your Mouth mouth mouth mouth
The only context I could give is that there are similar videos, for example one of a plane with crocodile features where the voice keeps saying (bombardillo crocodillo". It's just random = funny humor, I think

They say there are multiple but failed to say which is prohibited, so I will avoid all words that use that letter.
I assume high key was the class response to low key being banned, but I'm not up on the lingo.
It just means the opposite of low-key. The logic kinda tracks. I can't imagine why it would be banned.
One of these line items isn't like the rest.
I figured it was generally understood that that one is a no-go in most all situations. I mean you only need to do it once to learn what happens if you do.
- "Any key"
Those are mostly sentences
Those are ~~mostly~~ highkey sentences
