I just saw a new PC term today. Now, "suicide" is "self-harm."
Got any other insane PC terms you've seen lately?

Gardner is taking his place amongst the low life trolls. He's become a total bore.

I'm not a misogynist or sexist by any stretch of the imagination, but feminists began destroying the Queen's English years ago by misusing the words 'they" and 'their."
It's been open season on the language ever since..

you know the country is doing a lot better, that even trump stooges are feeling more relaxed and more assured a crazy incompetent liar is not in charge, now that biden is president.
the trump stooges are resorting to crying about suicide being referred to by some as "self-harm."

I think he cracked. He thought Trump would dismantle government and run it as a dictator. He's lost.

People know for themselves when they've had enough.
It's time to remove the stigma from suicide anyway.

It is a legitimate problem in grammar to find a gender neutral pronoun.

yeah, we sure wouldn't want anyone to not consider suicide a viable choice in all cases of depression or bad times. that would be wrong.

"He," "him" and "his" were gender neutral or specific pronouns for centuries while "she," "her" and "hers" were gender specific.
I don't remember there having been a problem with that.

Really? When I write a sentence and mean any person, I don't want a gender specific term.

That was the correct grammar for centuries, however.
I was always appreciative of correct grammar, but it's a hopeless cause now.
Talking heads on TV news even butcher the language today. "Less" when they mean "fewer," "amount" when they mean "number," "feel badly" when they mean "feel bad,"...it goes on and on.
