I was reading a book (about interjections, oddly enough) yesterday
which included the phrase `In these days of political correctness...'
talking about no longer making jokes that denigrated people for their
culture or for the colour of their skin. And I thought, `That's not
actually anything to do with `political correctness'. That's just
treating other people with respect.'
Which made me oddly happy. I started imagining a world in which we
replaced the phrase `politically correct' wherever we could with
`treating other people with respect', and it made me smile.
You should try it. It's peculiarly enlightening.
I know what you're thinking now. You're thinking `Oh my god, that's
treating other people with respect gone mad!'
Happy Valentine's Day.
