Dear Colleagues,

This thread is becoming increasingly a space for venting one's right to bigoted speech. Nobody is *FORCING* any one here to use one word/grammatical form and not the other; in the US at least, we have the First Amendment. However, the insistence on using vocabulary that the person(s) designated by this vocabulary find objectionable is hardly something to be proud of. I am saddened to see a number of colleagues digging in their heels in this stance.

Sincerely,

What is really really sad is the idea that the use of an article can be classified as "bigoted".  We live in insane times.
