Oh dear TC sorry to offend you so much! PC or political correctness, its just too dictatorial as a concept and I believe was invented in the USA as a way of staving off people using discriminatory terms at work and so avoiding legal claims for discrimination. All well and good if that works, but surely it is PC itself that can be used as a cover-up for an attitude problem. Most of us would never use terms like cripple or spastic in any situation. Black people have reclaimed the word nigger as a pride thing, as we all know from gansta rap. I think political correctness can be used a form of control so that we are afraid to speak and that is censorship and therefore, in my view, wrong. Forced good manners cannot replace educating people anyway.
