Letter: Porn vs. Pornography

147

I read with interest the latest in a long march of Universe articles on the fight against pornography.

May I suggest, however, using the entire word, not its rather banal abbreviation, better suits the dignity of the conversation?

I understand a newspaper needs to think about space concerns for printing, especially on title lines, but the fact is there is a difference between the two words — one is the real thing, the other is the low term used more than anywhere else by its proponents and vendors.

Let’s use the right terms for the right things.
