Suzanna,
I strongly agree with your point on language -
in every field of equalities, changing the words people use really
does start to change the way people think and behave. Similarly, not
challenging condones and reinforces - it's only a question of degree.
So let's all keep nit-picking - the day it's no longer necessary
we'll all be out of a job...
