Have been reading a book chapter about "political correctness". Quite interesting things and made me think about a lot about how we use language and how it can insult someone or discriminate.
Language can change attitudes and can change things that are generally accepted to be the social norm, as Cameron says, just ask the people who smoke.
Calling someone a bitch is different than saying madam. It conveys different messages and yes, how we speak also reflects how we think and changing that can also have an impact on our perception.
