The Lurking Evil

It destroys lives, causes illness, and devours time itself. What is it, you may ask? What else can it be other than the dreaded research paper? It is a plague, an almighty curse upon the innocent. A curse so vile and despicable that even mention of it is vulgar. But one detail remains to solidify its rule as chief among the evils of this world; its name has yet to be recognized for what it is, a vulgar word...a curse word. Aid me in naming the greatest of the wrongs done to humanity, give its name a place as the most despicable, most unforgiveable swear known to man. Please, "spread the word."

No pun in ten did.
