Fun with old posts.....

My son is reading Great Expectations in school and came across the word "niggardly". I was explaining to him how people were actually fired and repremanded for using the word in the past.

So... we went to the internet and I was showing him all of the different examples. Then we went to some old DU posts to see what they were saying about it. While there, I stumbled across a post from 2005 and found one where someone was questioning the use of the word "mandate" as being sexist - I lost it...
