And common decency that some still seem to have no respect for
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/inclusive-communication/inclusive-language-words-to-use-and-avoid-when-writing-about-disability
Are we brave enough to challenge those who abuse it? After all, on here some seem happy to speak out on members who post on woke or gender subjects. Does it depend on who or even the age of the person saying it?
Or Is it best to ignore or avoid those who use the inappropriate language of the past?
Want to avoid confrontation because the person is temperamental? -

Should Charles Bronson be released?
This interesting human is up for parole for only the second time.
He has served 50 years in prison, he hasn't murdered anybody but has served longer than a lot of killers including child killers.
The person from his prison said he couldn't cope with life outside.
Should he stay or be let out as a 70 year old?This discussion is now closed.

Queen Consort (Edited)
A queen consort is the wife of a reigning king, a position currently held by King Charles’s wife, Camilla.
As queen consort, Camilla will officially be called Her Majesty Queen Consort Camilla, rather than the Queen.
Once King Charles is no longer king, Queen Consort Camilla will no longer hold that title.
The previous Queen Consort was Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother.
Camilla is the wife of King Charles III, and Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (as she was originally known) was the wife of King George VI.
Both Camilla and Elizabeth also held Duchess titles, as The Duchess of Cornwall and The Duchess of York respectively, before becoming consort.
But all types of Queen are historically known as ‘Her Majesty The Queen’.
The last fully reigning Queen was Queen Elizabeth II and before that Queen Victoria. -
I had a call from a scammer the other day.
Me: “Hello.”
NOT-Microsoft support: “Hello. This is Bob Bobson from Microsoft Support. We are seeing a lot of virus activity from your device.”
Me: “Oh no. My device? Are you sure?”
NOT-Microsoft support: “Oh yes, we have many reports.”
Me: “Oh jeez. How can I fix it?”
NOT-Microsoft support: “It’s okay Sir. We can help you right now. Are you in front of your device Sir?”
Me: “Yes. I was just about to use it. I’m glad you called.”
NOT-Microsoft support: “Yes Sir, we are going to help you. Can you please push the Start button?”
Me: “I think it’s already on.”
NOT-Microsoft support: “Okay, Sir. Now you want to click on Control Panel.”
Me: “I don’t see that.”
NOT-Microsoft support: “Do you see a bunch of information above the Start button?”
Me: “Yes.”
NOT-Microsoft support: “That is your Control Panel.”
Me: “Wow, I didn’t realise it had a name.”
NOT-Microsoft support: “Yes Sir, now press on Internet Options.”
Me: “Yeah, I definitely don’t see any Internet options. I don’t think I purchased that feature. This is just a cheap one.”
NOT-Microsoft support: “They all have the Internet, Sir. Press the Start button again.”
Me: “Okay, it’s the same as before.”
NOT-Microsoft support: “That’s okay Sir. We are going to restart your device. Can you please turn it off?”
Me: “Um … I don’t know how. I’ve never turned it off. Since I bought it, it just kind of stays on all the time.”
NOT-Microsoft support: “There must be an off button on your device. How do you stop it when it’s running?”
Me: “In those cases, I usually press the big button.”
NOT-Microsoft support: “Okay sir. Please press that button.”
Me: “Okay.”
NOT-Microsoft support: “Is your device off?”
Me: “No. The door popped open.”
NOT-Microsoft support: “Door? Is there a disc inside the door?”
Me: “No, there’s a burrito.”
NOT-Microsoft support: “Why is there a burrito in your computer?”
Me: “Computer? I thought you said this was microwave support.” -

Any of these non-binary gender neutral attention seekers that insist on they/them pronouns should not be permitted to use the personal pronoun I. Instead they should use we/us/our. Then when they say something the reply should be "you and who else?" -

The danger of relying overmuch on emojis
The benefit of human beings having evolved language is that it enables us to communicate what we mean to one another, potentially very exactly. Emojis have the opposite effect, being too vague to communicate any particular shade of meaning.
What the user may mean by inserting a standard smiley, especially into a very short post or comment, won't necessarily enable every reader to interpret it in that particular sense, because the emoji covers such a wide range of possible meanings, eg from "I like this" to "How ridiculous" and everything in between.
So do let's all try to communicate what we mean accurately and not rely overmuch on these dangerously ambiguous short-cuts. -
