Good point about capitalizing people's name. Please also to capitalize Chinook, when referring to Chinook helicopters, Chinook winds, Chinook salmon.

I do not believe that a person, once corrected, and I mean once, would knowingly use the words redneck or trailer park trash or poor white trash without being deliberately cruel..it could still slip out of those are words you have heard forever, but we have all had to retrain our brains not to say various words previously in common use. mg
