Misuse of wordsHow I love a pedant's corner! One that always seems to annoy a lot of people is the confusion between "less" and "fewer" - me, I couldn't care fewer!ViewDate:

Is political correctness in our modern society, being taken too far or have we got the balance right? What are your views?An interesting phrase, "political correctness", rarely actually defined by those who use it. It's usually used as a pejorative term which is interesting in itself as being "correct" always used to be a good thing. There is a view that right wing conservatives and libertarians push the term in order to divert attention from more substantive matters of discrimination and as part of a wider cultural war against liberalism of any form. Perhaps instead of any obsession with political correctness we could usefully think in terms of being sensitive or thoughtful to other people's needs?
