[QUOTE="KyleTe, post: 3263395, member: 124623"] Many people don't agree because that language is alien to them. It doesn't feel natural and being forced to speak in such a manner makes them feel uneasy. A lot of PC language is highly contextual to the point where it becomes devoid of any meaning at all without detailed knowledge of the particular situation it was being used in. This also makes people feel uneasy about the use of such language. Take the term "personal space". It's fairly common PC jargon. It gets used all the time. However it can have some very serious connotations if used improperly. For example: X invaded Y's personal space. Without some fairly detailed knowledge of what I'm talking about. Many if not most people may begin to construct some very sinister scenarios around that sentence. For me PC language is just jargon devoid of meaning. I'd much rather people spoke plainly and felt free to speak their minds. [/QUOTE]
