Controlling language is paramount to the utopian vision of humanity. Pretty sure George Orwell got it right in his book 1984. My previous posts (here and here) talk a little about the intent to control language, and the sheer ridiculousness of it, however that doesn't stop well intentioned bureaucrats and politicians advancing these insane regulations.
If only we could stop people saying certain words then those things will stop.
So for example, if only could stop people screaming "Islamophobia!" then maybe it will all just fade away (although that starts the debate on how something that doesn't exist can just fade away....but I digress).
Introducing the newest community service announcement (from the city of New York, although I'm not 100% on that one) that is slated to be as effective and memorable as Nancy Reagans "Just Say No" campaign.
