>Still, it is only a symptom. Whenever I saw language manipulated, there was a manipulator with an agenda completely outside of the linguistic area. The language is just a tool. And the whole PC speech is just an excuse for not really doing the right things. It gives polite names to real problems, and serves just as a pretext for not doing a thing about them.
Never has a nail been so squarely hit on the head!
