  Case: Everything is Gay
Students in Mr. Jones' class have a habit of calling anything with negative gay. Mr. Jones has requested the students find an alternative word but they continue to use it. How can he convince students to not use this word in negative contexts only?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
He can explain to the students all the many meanings that "gay" has, and that using it for the reason they are is not only disrespectful but incorrect, and might make them sound ignorant. This might make them stop using it so often and for negative contexts.
