Wow! Have you seen the list of words? This is completely stupid. Most of them anyway. Some of them are legit - eg. it annoys me when someone addresses a group of girls and says - "guys". But this is just a mistaken slang, it is not an established word.
Imagine - don't use the word "brave" - which is a really strong positive word.
Or take this - replace "stupid" with "boring, uncool" - you must be joking! uncool? Is there such a word? I bet many linguists and dictionaries authors must be going mad when seeing this article..
Ah but then I read this (first line in the article):
The Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative (EHLI) is a multi-phase, multi-year project to address harmful language in IT at Stanford.
So this is just a restrained group of people. Not sure why is this posted here anyway.
