Steven, ** OT **

There are any number of Conservatives who have swallowed PC-revsed grammar as part of their everyday communication, and very few of us notice anymore. For example, it is now PC to talk about "their" as the singular possessive in order to avoid the grammatically and logically correct "his".

Example:
Everybody is responsible for their own actions.
instead of:
Evereybody is responsible for his own actions.

Reason: people have confused the concept of gender (a grammatical concept) with sex because of the multiple meanings associated with words.

Is it any wonder that this kind of mindless acceptance of blather lead a person to be ousted from a job in Washington D.C. for using the word "niggardly"?

TTFN,
