I don't mean this in a snarky way, more just to inform: proscribed actually means forbidden unlike the word prescribed, which means recommended.



I wanted to leave this comment, but now I’m going to have to leave a helpful correction to your comment instead: prescribed is closer to “forced”, or “made the rule”, than to “recommended”. :)
