You speak as if one endeavouring the maintain the purity of the English language. The trouble is, the English language is as pure as an Aldgate whore, picking up every little bit of this and that from any other language that passes her fancy, anything that is the vogue (the word vogue, for instance) of the moment. She even makes stuff up from a mish-mash of fractured words, vestigial terms, gibberish (like the words "mish-mash" and "gibberish") and good ol' jargon or acronyms.
Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
