I will grant you that some people have been, are and will be offended by the terms "B.C.E." and "C.E." I wonder (sincerely, not to get your goat) whether THEY are not adopting some of the behaviorial characteristics of the PC crowd (i.e. the victimhood thing).
This one issue aside, it is clear to me that PC is practised almost exclusively by, and for the political benefit of, liberals. It is a key part of the effort to destroy our language and rewrite our history, in order to re-educate the American public toward some Socialist point of view. I fight it where I can, and oftentimes go out of my way to be as un-PC as possible, just to annoy the pricks. But I also try to target ONLY that which is, IMHO, actually PC. Being careful about what is and what isn't PC, so as to attack the true enemy, is vitally important in this fight.
