Death is a taboo subject for some people. I've never been big on euphemisms so in my world people don't "pass away" or "move on" - they die. The subject doesn't bother or distress me. This was why I agree with NYE in that some people would find the Pool distasteful however. It's a subject many try to avoid.

Maybe next year you should start a second game then - a "Live Pool" wherein we only pick people over eighty or eighty five and get points if they don't die during the year. Or would that be distasteful as well?
