And I thought, "That''s not actually anything to do with ''political  correctness''. That''s just treating other people with respect."  Which made me oddly happy. I started imagining a world in which we replaced the  phrase "politically correct" wherever we could with "treating other people with  respect", and it made me smile.  You should try it. It''s peculiarly enlightening.  I know what you''re thinking now. You''re thinking "Oh my god, that''s treating  other people with respect gone mad!"  'id: 5c58aa7d-6d8a-46bb-aff9-894132cb6366
