I also fully agree with and support the sentiments of Spleen Cringe (just above).
The term is not only in very poor taste, it is extremely offensive.

I also agree that most people advocating learning the words (on this thread) are speaking for themselves rather than trying to impose this on others.
Indeed most people have debated this topic in a very civilised and dignified manner and have not tried to force their views onto others.

Rather; they have suggested, recommended, proposed , endorsed, commended and politely stated their own preferences.

The polite and respectful great majority have not said this is the way I do it and therefore everyone should do the same or that this way is only one way to do it and therefore anyone not doing it this way is a moron.

So thank you everyone for such respectful, dignified, civilized and 'mature' debate. It is a credit to all of you. God bless.

And we are nearly at the 400 mark - I can't believe it!!
