Employee fired for use of the word Homophone

I went to the sea to see the papal see, but all I saw was a rusty saw. I could plainly see that the saw i saw was used to saw the sea and part the waters. The outcome remains dubious.

I was teetering on the edge of humor and tottered into the abyss of silliness.
C'mon guys, get into the spirit of the fun of homonyms.

like Eskimos having 50 words for snow?

 

There is a problem with political correctness in that phrases that breach its rules are so often verbally alive and enjoyable,

As a Caucasian, I hope I can safely appreciate number 35 without offending anyone.
A "Wendy" is a Caucasian.
Heh Heh

Sucks!
It is nothing more than following the herd in pandering to ignorant toads who wander about with chips on their shoulders looking for a reason to feel offended.

 

Except that it is more.

There are systematic influences in society that people should fight. Part of this fight is changing language use.

 

You mean, like firing someone for using the word Homophone?

 

That isn't political correctness; it's stupidity. It's just as common to be stupidly incorrect.

 

Maybe both?

Lets look at this through the eyes of the obviously intellectually challenged(if not psychotically homophobic) A Woodger.
Did A Woodger think his reactions politically correct?

Once you let that damned genie out-o the bottle, you open the paths to some really repugnant behaviors.

Within the realm of communication:
All censorship is inherently evil, and self censorship is among the worst of sins.

 

That's clearly wrong. Self-censorship, in the form of both communication and behaviour, is the only thing that makes society possible.

 

This case was not one of political correctness, it was a case of stupid religious people trying to entrench their hatred and oppression on others.

Of course people should self-censor; people should in many cases not say the first thing that they think. Saying certain things is hateful and damaging. Inciting others to violence is, except in perhaps a very small number of cases, wrong.

Shouting out nonsense in order to stifle debate is clearly not helpful to anyone, so censoring that shouldn't be a problem.

 

Neither is true. Avoiding profanity around children (for example) is the opposite of evil, and self-censorship is one of the reasons we can function as a society.

 

It is considered different when people use words to describe themselves,
and when outsiders use the same word.
Language can be private and exclusive.
So, while I can appreciate gay people using the word "Wendy",
they might find it offensive if I took on the use of it.
While I like the word, and understand what it means, I will probably never actively use it.
Apart from PC, I'm unlikely to be in a situation where I need to communicate which variety of sexual behaviour a particular gay person exhibits.

 

That's a bit forthright.
Sure you don't want to backtrack on that slightly?

 

yeh, perhaps I should
That was likely a tad offensive to toads(fortunately it seems that most if not all of them are illiterate).

 

And meant as a joke.

oops
