Hey, Catlady:
Yes, it will, indubitably, take more time. Amazon's organized their "bad stuff" page (
https://kdp.amazon.com/help?topicId=A1MMQ0JHRBEINX ). As mitford13 said, they're already doing all of this. They simply have to add the "bad stuff" button. W
hat they will be doing
that's new is the inevitable emails back/forth from offended authors, explaining that Jethro has a twang, or that Sonny really "tahks dat way," or {insert creative umbrage explanation here}.
I have to confess...much like Slushpilehell,
I WISH I WISH I WISH I had a secret spy in that office. I'd give a LOT

then you get to look down on me. Not before!
