:-) Why get stuck up in the rules rather than the debate?
Absolutely. But my background was leftwing lunacy, where it was all about "protocol"; as in "don't say handicapped--say 'differently abled', don't say AIDS victim, say 'AIDS survivor', don't say child, say embryo or product of pregnancy', don't say negro, say black, don't say black, say 'African American'", yadda yadda yadda. There's much to overcome after spending years learning idiotic pc speech rules.
