I accept that. What I won't accept are the dictates of group-think telling me how I can and cannot express myself, hence my point about Orwell, regardless of how language evolves. So yes, I have no issue thinking about this stuff, and I do think about how I express myself (especially as a writer), but I don't work myself into a nervous frenzy over the lunatic prohibitions of the professionally offended. That's the difference.
Happy to disagree of course. :)
