This is a really interesting post and it brings up many talking points.<br />Firstly, I think we all 'role play' depending upon whom we are addressing. As you suggest, we use different language and different semantics with different people or types.<br />Secondly, language above all things is about communication. My son-in-law who thinks he is really cool often says "that's so gay". If he said "that's so absolutely inverted" the meaning would be lost.<br />Collateral offense resides in the listener, not the speaker. <br />Should we not use words like 'juice', 'judicial', and 'due' in case Jews are offended?bazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794010156639774028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795483213843043301.post-13796459249242897652010-01-30T04:51:48.708-08:002010-01-30T04:51:48.708-08:00Yeah.

Maintaining a level of consciousness about language is not laid upon anybody by the evils of political-correctness, it is a sign of *respect* and *decency*. <br /><br />I get angry when people say "oh, you are not allowed to say X anymore, you must say Y now". No. You are allowed to use pretty much any word you want. It just tells me you are lazy person with no care for others if you chose to use it. <br /><br />And might I say, when I hear that sentence of "you are not allowed...", I usually hear you singing "boo-hoo" in my head. :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07479281036094030516noreply@blogger.com
