I don't think "picking on the language of others" is a good start. What about the people starving right now in less developed countries? And the homelessness problem? Companies doing serious damage to the environment? And we both are just sitting here discussing language on the Internet. I think you are not in the Position to talk about a better world as excuse for political over-correctness.

what about them really? I don't think these topics would make a great joke either :-/

"picking on the language of others" could so easily be transformed to "picking on the behaviour of others". there are so many things to do with a hammer, and i think we should pick more on the people who use it to kill women, or suggest it as a joke.

sorry for being off topic btw.

Language is a different shoe from what we actually do. HN is not a good place for this, drop me a mail on [redacted] if you are further interested in discussion.
