So the subject of using that particular proscribed term is interesting for me personally, as I'm not a part of the Dine' culture - I respect people wanting others to refrain from using their cultural terms in a frivolous manner but I'd also been told that the english colloquial name is fine...? Its the internet though so it could easily be an excuse to keep using it. All that being said I should probably refrain from using it for basic decency reasons >.>
Yeah, I've just heard that you're not supposed to talk about them or name them because it can draw their attention and cause problems. I don't believe in them, but out of respect I'll follow what I've been told is the custom as best I can. I could certainly be wrong, I often am.
