I think that political correctness of words goes a little to far. For example, I mentioned in a post about my wife that she is a draftsman, not a draftsperson. This does not offend her. In fact she will tell you as such and she does get a little upset if you use draftsperson rather then draftsman.
Another good example is when the words to music are changed from men, to all or people, this is especially apparent in church hymns. To me that screws up the context of the music.
Now I have heard that the meaning behind the words have been changed. So rather then men or man being gender specific to the male, it has a general meaning of all people. I think our own govt. has come up with this bright idea in some cases. I'm willing to accept this versus having the words changed just because it pisses off or offends someon who is way to sensative to it.
Give it a rest folks. There are way more important issues to be sensative about rather then certain words.
