Ah, yes. I knew I found the whole idea very familiar and threatening when I read the article. Must be time I re-read the book.

Being careful with the language you use is not wrong.

Legislating language is legally and morally questionable, and half-baked non-ideas such as in the article here are ridiculous.

I imagine that the reason such guidelines were given out is more to avoid spurious litigation than avoid causing offense.
