Sobre la H en las palabras números 3 y 4 de Quizlet


Resultado de imagen de censura en internetAl incluir estas palabras número 3 y 4 en Quizlet ha habido un problema: las considera obscenas y las sustituye por asteriscos. Por eso he incluido una H intercalada o al final de la palabra, para poder tenerlas en nuestra base de datos. Tened en cuenta que esa H no existe en la palabra real.
No ha habido ese inconveniente con la palabra numero 1, lo que nos indica el diferente grado de ofensa de las tres.

Here you have our first recommendation from Netflix: THE LET DOWN

The Letdown is an Australian television comedy series first screened on the ABC in 2016. It follows the adventures of Audrey, including her struggles as a new mum in an oddball mothers' group. She navigates the steep learning curve of motherhood, deals with sleeplessness, shifting relationship dynamics, her issues with her own mother, and her partner's career ambitions.
The title is a play on the word letdown, which refers to the letdown reflex in breastfeeding, but is also a colloquialism for disappointment, both of which are key elements of Audrey's story.
