Jacqueline Wilson swearword removed after housewife complains - Telegraph

Twit Twat

Random House Children's Books has agreed to remove a four-letter swearword from a popular book by Dame Jacqueline Wilson after complaints from Anne Dixon, who insists she is standing up for values of common decency. The 55-year-old said she was horrified when she came across the expletive in the best-selling book My Sister Jodie - a gift for her nine-year-old great-niece, Eve Coulson. She complained to Asda where she bought the book, and the store initially removed it from sale. Asda is owned by Walmart, the US chain which refuses to sell music with explicit lyrics. Now the publisher, in order to appease Mrs Dixon and the supermarket, has said it will - by altering one letter - substitute the word with "twit" when the book is reprinted.
