There seem to be many more things to be offended about. Nutso. In giving a condition the status of never-to-be mentioned, we bring attention to, and so increase, its disagreeableness. I used the word "fat" the other day, and was shushed for my insensitivity, my incorrectness. I don't care much for being told which words I can and cannot use. If I say "overweight" instead of "fat", the meaning is the same. Who and what decided one is less offensive than the other? This is one of the ways people have been made afraid to speak at all.
