I am compiling a 'language' list and would like to receive contributions
from anybody/everybody on
examples of pc and non pc language, whether thought of as 'humorous' or
otherwise. This is on the understanding that I will compile a list in
order to analyse the language and to use the material with care, rather
than as something to be used unwisely merely for any potential (possibly
inappropriate) humour impact.
You see the debatable and 'fraught' nature of language use has not
escaped me!
eg Non PC PC
chairman chair
master original
Alternatively, if you know of an existing comprehensive resource, please
let me know.
I am aware that masses of terms exist in current use and I would like to
collate as
many as possible for all areas (race, sex, disability, age etc), so
please help me if you can.
Thanks.... Elaine
