Sorry, I know this is the same answer as to your other question, but it applies here.
What's so terrible about attempting to use language that doesn't upset people? I was always told that people should think before they speak. I agree that it can go a bit too far, but some political correctness isn't an awful thing.
Let me give an example.
I have no problem with stores that refer to it as the "holidays" and not just "Christmas." It's not just Christmas - there's 3 other holidays then, not counting New Years. Saying "Happy Holidays" just encompasses all of them. It's respectful.
However, it goes a little too far if someone sues a store for saying "Merry Christmas" to them. Unless they were handing out little Bible tracts and telling you to celebrate Christmas or die, they simply intended on wishing someone a happy time.
Hopefully, that makes sense...

Oh man - you're in trouble now!! You know there are words that only members of certain races can say, but that white people can neither say nor write.
Swearing and filthy language is okay, but not these words...

I have always found the term liberal sets them off pretty good. They tend to prefer progressive.
