Yes, the terms 'citizen' and 'brown bag' are under consideration for being replaced in Seattle because they are potentially offensive. In a culture where feelings are sacred and must not be violated, the natural consequence is to play 'six degrees of Kevin Bacon' with names and referent terms. My … [Read more...]
