    Hello Rosie:

    Although they try REAL hard, there are SOME human functions that the government simply can't control.  Among them are what you put INTO to your body, how you conduct SEX with your body, and what words come OUT of your body..   I dunno HOW they don't know that, but they don't.

    In your little scenario, would it also be illegal to write "lotta" instead of "a lot of"? Wait, don't answer that; I strictly FORBID you to.

    Well...you'd get even more thinskinned, easily insulted morons that can't accept a different opinion, since that is taken as a personal attack and insult by many, these days. Adding a money penalty would only encourage this behaviour even further.

    All one has to do is see the sensitive primadonnas in social media, the news and so on to see this trend.
