I believe in intent more than wordage. It's too hard to play the PC game in hopes of not offending others. Someone will ALWAYS be offended no matter how PC you think you are. Hell, we sell porn online, that is VERY offensive to a decent chunk of the country.
Remember when we were being forced to say "African-American" in all cases?

That was terrible. I don't mind being PC but there should be a word and syllable limit on these things.
