    They all feature "creative" spelling or grammar.

    This new dialect of the English language shall be known as "Teabonics."

      Journalist Gregory Tajeda of the Chicago Argus said in an article he wrote on April 21, 2009 that "Crestwood’s tainted water “cover-up” is not a surprise to political observers."[57] Michael Hawthorne of the Chicago Tribune in an article he wrote on June 10th 2009[58] alleges that there was "a systematic coverup of Crestwood's routine use of its tainted well."

      A resident at the Mayors meeting in Crestwood yelled to Mayor Stranczek "You covered up the evidence." referring to the secret use of the contaminated well[44]

      "This is an intentional poisoning of more than 11,000 people. And they wanted it to die, wanted the story to go bye-bye," said Tim Janecyk, Crestwood whistleblower.[43]

      Chester Stranczek, Crestwoods former mayor has dealt with environmentalists before. He called incinerator opponents "cockroaches" and "junkies" at public meetings, refused to let them speak, had them arrested when they did and used his police department to harass their families, according to Phil Kadner of the Southtown Star Newspaper[6]

      Those who disagreed with Chester Stranczek on environmental matters previously commented on the former mayors tactics "Police parked at the end of our block and watched my children leave the house and followed them outside. It was an atmosphere of intimidation that you would expect to see in Nazi Germany" one resident told the SouthTown Star.[6]

      "Mary Schultz was arrested with three others for disorderly conduct by Crestwood police for attempting to speak at a public meeting" Kadner reported. Schultz added "And I see a lot of similarities between that incinerator project and the water contamination. It's exactly the same mentality as far as I'm concerned."[6]

      Reporters were also kept away from village meetings in Crestwood "I witnessed some of that myself at the time when our reporters tried to attend a town meeting that Stranczek organized to rally support for the incinerator" Phil Kadner said "The mayor refused to let us inside." Kadner, who is a reporter for the SouthTown Star Newspaper commented "as we waited in the parking lot, the police chief, with his hand on his holster, said we would have to leave or he would arrest us."[6]

      Please tell me the correct word is "excretions". Please.

      Well, surely they must mean "excretions". That was my first thought, and, reading the comments, I see that I'm certainly not the only one. Maybe they meant "exertions", though. Or maybe "extractions"...

      Without being able to properly understand the intention behind the wording, we will probably never know exactly what they meant.

      I'm going to go with the "no excretions" myself. It makes sense that a buildup of human waste inside the church would quickly become disturbing to the congregation.

      I guess old Ches gave up after learning how to spell his last name.
