I must agree.  I am so tired of seeing MUDBLOOD in reference to
muggleborn (ie Hermione).  That is like saying the N word.  Oh ya it
is.  At least in the Potterverse it is.  And Ron would hex you but
good.  :)

So can we please write Muggle-born?  Or 1/2 blood or well, maybe you
can come up with something else... but, mudblood is rather nasty..
lets me mice... i mean nice...  
Thanks..
