Thank you and good day, sir.

This is bullshit. They're technical terms ffs.

Gotta love some of the snippets.

Quote:

"Based on the cultural diversity and sensitivity of Los Angeles County, this is not an acceptable identification label," Joe Sandoval, division manager of purchasing and contract services, said in a memo sent to County vendors.

"But we are culturally sensitive and we have 90,000 employees," he said. "We have to take these things seriously."

cultural sensitivity or cultural ignorance ?.

All this policital correctness is just going to leave us with a meaningless language.
