r/WhatsTheRule

RG: words with the letter "s" where the "s" uses the sound of Z break the rule using american english pronunciation rules. For example: position, museum, and anything ending in -ism.

I have some theories but they don't work because of one exception

Word must end in s -> basis safe, isn't BtRs

Word must contain 1 s -> jumps safe

Examine each word in a post and see if it describes ITSELF! Words that describe themselves are banned.

not sure about isn't vs wasn't, but would make sense to see if Approved is approved.

I wonder if Autological, Heterological, or allowed would've broken the rule or not,

If Autological is autological, then it is, else it isn't. If Heterological is autological, then it is heterological, which is a contradiction, same if it was heterological. If "allowed" didn't describe itself, i.e. banned, it would no longer be allowed, therefore it should be allowed, and, eh, the rule is done anyways, I missed it
