well, I've seen the "if you care about their feelings, you'll use what
makes them happy.." and "if they cared about my feelings, they would
let me use words that make me happy.."  Both are legitimate points of
view (of course, where I come from, people compete on being "nice"
so they fight over who GETS to give in, rather than who HAS to behave...
dance ends up being every bit as intricate..*grin*)

Personally I find the whole issue (from either side) more like a 
single mosquito in the tent than like a hole in the tent...that is,
annoying sometimes, but not worth getting up to fix (what can one
mosquito eat, anyhow...tho this calculation would change in a malarial
swamp, of course...) so I'm willing to do whatever folks in my environment
are comfortable with...
