Politically Correct

Politically correctness is a new trend of the United States. It allows you to talk and write without offending anyone. They have even created a dictionary: "The Official Politically Correct Dictionary and Handbook". For example, an ugly person is called "cosmetically different", or a prostitute "sex workers". The aim of this book is to lead people to reflect before talking, and watch what they say, so that they don't offend people. The Politically Correct dictionary also try to deal with life's serious problems, infact it suggest to call a person with AIDS just "person living with AIDS", not "AIDS victim". Despite the book contains good suggestions, it is also full of silliness. For example, according to it, a dog should be called "nonhuman animal companion", a person with glasses "optically challenged" or a plant "botanical companion". Some of them are even more offensive, like "horizontally challenged" for an overweight person, or "hair disadvantaged" for bold people.
