4. Flip Chart. The term can be offensive to Filipinos, please use ‘writing block’.

Ahhhh... PC defeats accuracy AGAIN! "Writing block" happens when one cannot find the words to fill out a "flip chart"! ;-P

You read it and interpreted it as if they were trying to dictate correct terms?

I read it and interpreted it that they feel Political correctness has run amok, and they had examples. If you go to the website they still have their citings from 2004.

How do you like your coffee?

Perhaps there is a misunderstanding on my part here. It has happened before.
