Take the following as truth: Thus Joan Lunden on ABC-TV said to Steve Crowley,  Are you ready to use the R-word recession ?   Many words like recession could be called semi-taboo words or limited taboos, for scarcely anyone would be shocked or offended to encounter them, though some people avoid using them.
Then the following statement: "People would avoid using a word like recession even though it's not shocking or off color." is true, false, or inconclusive?
Answer: False
