...and let's not forget the major Christian denomination (ironically, I've forgotten which one) which put out (oops! not a PC term) a memo banning the use of the terms "up" and "down" referring to the computer systems, as "sexist".

For that matter, Bernadine D founded the Weathermen (a paper distributed to the SDS, entitled "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows", a line from Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues") which killed some of their own while trying to build a bomb, then went underground, from which she eventually issued a memorandum stating a name change to The Weather Underground, because Weathermen was "sexist".

Do you think someone should send the author of the original post on this thread a copy of The Official Politically Correct Dictionary and Handbook : Updated! New Entries! by Henry Beard (Author)?

Do you think that the lack of a similar book on how the Republicans have "captured the language" would have any impact on her?
