Hell is a Bible word, a King James Bible word. I haven't checked every one of the hundreds of perversions since 1880 but for the most part, the word HELL is REMOVED and replaced with something a little tamer. My guess is that saying the word HELL (which is NOT a cuss word) gets those going there a little nervous including the principle of this school.

People use the word in the mannor she did because deep down inside they know that's where they're going.
