Scoop.......you speak of using the "correct language" check out how the whole world is getting politically correct.
Our US Navy aircraft carriers used to have a designation of CVA before the number of the ship. CVA stood for "C"=carrier-"V"=aircraft and "A" stood for attack. They figured the word "Attack" wasn't friendly enough so they are now designated as "CV's", thus eliminating the scary word "Attack". I hope other countries follow suit so I don't get scared if one from another country parks off our shoreline.
Then we have the "Kalifornia Department of Fish & Game". Well, we used to. Thing is, the word "Game" conjured up visions of dead animals so, in their ever-so-brilliant wisdom, they have changed their name to "Kalifornia Department of Fish & Wildlife". That has made the wildlife around here much happier and the tree-huggers have no idea that animals are still getting shot.
I feel we need to take it much further though. Like "Folsom Prison". Why not change it to something like "Northern California Resort for Felons" or something along those lines. Make the inmates a little more at ease about their surroundings. Heck, the term "death penalty" could be changed to "permanent behavioral adjustment" and then maybe we wouldn't be so afraid of handing out that as a sentence.
