What do you mean by, "language policed"?
- rgrs 5y agoUse of politically correct language, I guess
- erik_seaberg 5y agoThe euphemism treadmill. A growing list of things nobody can say, à la http://www.paulgraham.com/say.html http://www.paulgraham.com/say.html. Linus being pressured to restrain himself after years of leading a famously successful project.
- dbavaria 5y agoPlease avoid using the word police in this context, it detracts from the work done by actual police officers.
- fzil 5y agothat's a pretty good example of language policing.
- dbavaria 5y agoThe comment even got downvoted, so yes a good example all around.
- lewispollard 5y agoDon't worry, I got it :)
