I was told, no exaggeration, that I should avoid the word cotton altogether in conversation.

And that is how PC works -- by censorship. A word here, a phrase there -- designated by the PC-ist, of course. It is just a small step in silencing the masses, but over time, it works. Look how many words are basically banned from our vocabulary already. Not because they are particularly evil words, but because some entity deemed them as 'inappropriate'.

Superb point!

I know, so when I am with that group again, I must figure out a way to work cotton into every topic I can. :)
