[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It reminds me of that DC government employee who was fired for using the term "niggardly"![/quote] It IS rather like that. I would say that employee also had an appalling lapse of judgement. I have known the word "niggardly" since I was a small child, but as a child of the segregated South, I have had better sense than to ever once use it in the 50 years since I learned it. Likewise, I have never referred to doing something "like a Christian" (which was very common in the early 1800s) or complimented a courteous action by saying "that's mighty white of you" (which was very common when I was a kid). Similarly, I have not used the word "Oriental" as an adjective in at least 30 years or the term "thug" in the past 10. This is not difficult.[/quote]
