- Hey, in fact "amiga" means female friend, so that's also offensive;
- they should change that too!!! In fact, "commodore" might offend
- people in the navy; better change that too!!! Why are connectors
- called "male" and "female"?? I find that graphically offensive; it
- ought to be changed!! I think it's offensive that America is named
- after a man!! It ought to be changed to something gender neutral...
-
- In fact, all I am really offended by is people who push their own
- views of "offense" onto the whole society. If a little creativity
- bothers you, deal with it!! (as long as no harm is done....)
