Hello Dr. Goodword,
I thought that today would be appropriate to ask you to do a column on the eponym, bowdlerize, since it is the 257th anniversary of Thomas Bowdler's birth.
Was it really his sister, Harriet, that did the actual expurgating? Maybe Shakespeare's works were 'Harrietized', after all.
Have a great week,
Sardith
