This is just a question about the list and not a complaint or

admonition: Does this list include discussion of political correctness,

or only discussion of language and how it is actually used (rather than

how it should be used).



A note regarding "rat's ass:" I was just on the phone with a customer

who gave me her life story, and as I was hanging up the phone, the

phrase "I don't give a flying fuck" went through my head.



Thanks,

Jessie
