    Let’s not offend anyone.

    Let’s remove all descriptive words from the English language.Because someone might get offended.

    So no more words like small, big, white, black, red sunset, lazymoney. Can you suggest others.

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    You can describe me as handsome, intelligent and debonair if you like and I won't be offended...but you would be deranged if you did. Oh no, I've probably offended you now?

    'Descriptive' is itself an adjective, along with 'English', so it should read "Let's remove all words from the language."
