"just use one of the dozens of words that failed to gain public attention over the past 25 years".
- keiferski 1y agoI've already written about 5 comments in this thread explaining why it's a poor choice of a word from a pragmatic point of view. I'm also not super interested in his rant about people criticizing his approach are just "pearl clutchers."

It doesn't really matter how many times you've explained yours. For what it's worth, I think an ancestor comment to this one poignantly addresses a particular perspective: > The terminology is irrelevant. Senators and judges won't deal with this because they're being paid not to, not because there's a rude word in the name. It might help to tailor your arguments to this perspective as I suspect it is the most common one. I also get the feeling that's how Doctorow figures it's "pearl clutching": it's less about the "bad word" and more about the "profits".
