Society of Vertebrate Paleontology forbid the word "bone" during online conference

The Society of Vertebrate Paleontology held its annual conference online this year and used a platform that came pre-installed with a profanity filter. Unfortunately, "bone" was on the forbidden words list and so the paleontologists were prevented from using it.

Paleontologist Thomas R. Holtz, Jr. made a list of the words discovered to be on the blacklist.
