I was taking a group of building service engineers through the 18th. We were discussing the use of Appendix 5. One chap was very exercised about the BA3 category which is described as utilization-capability-handicapped. He claims the latter word was exorcised from common parlance years ago and would be offensive to many. I am not that politically correct but maybe he has a valid argument,.
I come from an age where gay meant happy, nothing more nothing less. Nowadays some folk are refered to as gay and some of them are are happy and some not.
like the spade meanings get corrupted.
I call a spade a spade and never even dreamt of that saying in any other context.
Some folk just look to find something as offensive .
Madam chairman becomes chairwoman or simply chair. Complete and utter madness.
We are all Men (Mankind, human) just some are that little bit extra special in that they are also wo - men.
