  2. content: 'I was reading a book (about interjections, oddly enough) yesterday which
  3. included the phrase "In these days of political correctness..." talking about no
  4. longer making jokes that denigrated people for their culture or for the colour of
  5. their skin. And I thought, "That''s not actually anything to do with ''political
  6. correctness''. That''s just treating other people with respect."
  7. Which made me oddly happy. I started imagining a world in which we replaced the
  8. phrase "politically correct" wherever we could with "treating other people with
  9. respect", and it made me smile.
  10. You should try it. It''s peculiarly enlightening.
  11. I know what you''re thinking now. You''re thinking "Oh my god, that''s treating
  12. other people with respect gone mad!"
