Our vocabulary will soon consist of:
a-word
a-word1
a-word2
b-word
b-word1
b-word2
b-word3
c-word
c-word1
etc.
Ironically, no matter what 'they' try to rename the x-word to, it still conveys the original intent.
A rose by any other name .... isn't a PC football team mascot, even in San Francisco, California.

Spot on. My grandparent's generation used the word "Negro", My parent's generation used the word "Colored", my generation used the word "Black", and now my daughter's generation uses the term "African-American"
All used by each generation with the same intent which is to be respectful.
