I know all about this; I have cats ... all female; and Emma is a tory. ![Wink](http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif) Seems like our beautiful English Language has become a minefield. One can no longer say, getting back on topic, that tories are cruel, grasping, mean-spirited, ignorant over-privileged assholes, whose world-view begins and ends with their tax-sheltered wealth ... spice this up with your own expletives. Come to think of it, it was a tory who started all this horse manure. Back in the early 1900s ... maybe '05 or '06 ... Churchill, that master of English, came up with "terminological inexactitude"; and it's been downhill ever since. Chaucer could play cleverly on the meanings of "queynte" (careful when you say "quaint", you don't know where it comes from ![Wink](http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif) ), and Swift could write his clever satire, "The Lady's Dressing Room", and Rochester could pen "A Ramble in St. James' Park", all to popular applause from a less than politically correct public. But times have changed. Now we have to censor our every utterance lest we offend. No more coons on my porch, I guess. ![Big Grin](http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif) Some want to make our National Anthem gender neutral. ![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif) What next: "Land of My Fathers."?
