Must have taken a lot of rehearsing…

Strict Maximum Speed Limit

I can envisage a lot of accidents happening because of excessive browsing speeds, so I’ve decided to impose a strict maximum speed limit on browsers of this blog:

I ask you to please respect this, because I really don’t want to have to lay speed bumps…

TROTT's Campaign for Political Correctness 1

I encountered a cryptic snide comment today, that can only be interpreted as the speaker objecting to the term “disability awareness”, which to me is perfectly acceptable. This got me thinking about Politically Correct ways to cover touchy subjects…

Wheelchair

I also encountered objection to “they are in a wheelchair”, so now they are a regretful incumbent of a bespoked perambulatory replacement.

Fat

Someone isn’t “fat”, they have a mass that is unfortunately greater than what would be considered by the majority of people to be an average value.

Blackboard

Always been touchy, this one, so now it’s a board for the application of chalk having a coating that absorbs a majority of incident visible light wavelengths.

Whiteboard

And because I’m an Equal Opportunities Political Corrector, a “whiteboard” is now a board for the application of special marker pens having a coating that reflects a majority of incident visible light wavelengths.

Physically Disabled

Someone isn’t “disabled” or even “differently abled” (everyone is “differently abled”; it’s meaningless…) they are unfortunately in possession of a physical form that is regretfully incapable of performing all the tasks which many other people take for granted.

That’s all for now…
