heheh I like to be politically correct and can see the sense in most of it but some of it goes woosh over my head.
In the material I produce for one of my clients I am not allowed to use:
Brainstorm - I have to say thought shower (the american version of a brainstorm). I have been told why - want to guess the reason?

The Call of the Politically Correct Shepherd to his Nymph (with apologies to Christopher Marlowe, who is a Dead White European Male and therefore unworthy of study)
Come live with me and we shall be politically correct We'll walk among the spotted owls and every rare insect We'll not cheer for sporting teams whose names mock our forebearers Or consort with other than the original fur-wearers No toxic fission No fossil fuels No polyester No grades in schools Come live with me within the old-growth forest near the seas Where the dolphins all are safe and swim through nets with ease Where the union label grows in our greenhouse-gas-free dome And the rain forest stretches out beyond our race-normed home No fatty oils No silicone No ever-present Cellular phones We'll be perfectly tolerant of all (as if we cared!) And we'll hope that we won't be procreationally impaired And when we have politically correct young girls and boys They'll play in their cloth diapers with our recycled toys They'll get their truths from Old bitter men And never think nor learn Less they offend.

hehehe its all a matter of common sense to me - if you use a word in a derogatory manner to hurt someone (souness dont count cos he is a clueless fat bastard) then its not on but well it all just goes a little too far sometimes and just gives those who are already nasty an excuse to be more so.

I agree,obviously I was just kidding to make a point but you have to admit it's getting ridiculous. I heard on the news yesterday that that the word dwarf has been banned in context with Snow white and the Seven dwarfs.They have to be called little friends of the forrest or something ridiculous like that now. It's a work of bl**dy fiction for gods sake lool. This is social engineering gone mad.
