    Political Correctness

    Just got this gem E-mailed to me.

    Following is the winning entry from an annual contest calling for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term. This year's term: Political Correctness.

    "Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

    Love it.

    I remember a bloke at work when I was in Telstra, in all seriousness, amended a document to change "manhole" to "personhole". That's the problem with doing global changes when editing.

    I suggested he change it to 'pit' - e.g., pit cover, rathan personhole cover.

    (what would it have done with "women", "menstruation", or "hymen" )

    The obvious problem with his correction is that "personhole" has a gender-specific term in it too... ie "son".

    Therefore it should have been corrected to "persiblinghole"

    Cheers

    Bugger political correctness, I want to know why a Telstra technical document about pit covers included reference to manholes, menstruation and hymens (I checked it is hymens).
