* It would be hard to imagine someone less renowned than [[Agatha Christie]] getting a pass with modern readers when so many [[Unfortunate Implications]] are in her works.

When reading her novels, watch for characters who aren't blueblooded but are trying to pass as high class; shortlist them. |

* The ''[[Star Wars Expanded Universe|Star Wars]]'' [[Star Wars Expanded Universe|Expanded Universe]] avoids real world swear words both for rating and verisimilitude (many less harsh swears reference real world things not in the Galaxy Far Far Away).
