I don't live in fear of offending anyone. I choose not to out of common courtesy. I don't worry about what I say or who I say it to. And I certainly am true to myself. I don't call names here, I respect others, both here and in all other areas of my life. If anyone thinks that makes me a sell outthats OK by me. I'll still sleep well at night. I also plan to teach my young daughter about respecting others and their opinions and feelings. Why would I go through life offending someone if I can avoid it by doing something so simple as changing a word? ya'll go ahead and be "true" to yourselves and offend all the folks you want to. I don't believe I will.
Agreed and I will be teaching my daughter the same thing

All we are saying is that, if you have a choice, then what is wrong with choosing the least offensive way.
