I am amazed how pointless and ignorant and cheap the principles are you chose as yours. If being against anything that could remotely smell like political correctness is one of your principles, then oh my -- I really hope you don't have any other problems. It sounds like you are proud of being ignorant. “Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.” -- Grouch Marx I know that americans and britons think that prefixing words with "über" in reference to the Übermensch is awesome and cool. And maybe it is. But formalizing this in our workflow -- that is followed in countries where people generally do see the connotation because it is taught in school -- is another step.
