Watching what you say

Being politically correct is quite difficult nowadays, particularly in the church. I was amused to discover that the webhost edits out certain words. In the previous blog entry I was not allowed to call a male pheasant by its designated biological name. It got starred out. Apparently, **** is not acceptable o­n the web. It makes me wonder if sometimes we can push the ideals too far. I am all for inclusive language, but terms like personhole are cumbersome. Humankind will raise fewer hackles than mankind – but it can all get a bit silly. Pity I like reading the Scotsman newspaper for the Scottish news.
