Political Correctness Gone MadFreddy Woo writes: "I once worked on an animation to help highlight the issues homeless people face in winter. The client was happy with the work, then a note came back that the ethnic mix of the characters were wrong. These were cartoon characters. They weren't meant to be ethnically anything, but we were forced to make one of them brown, at the cost of about 10k to the charity. This is how your donations are spent. Wisely as you can see."

Pedantry 101There's not actually a *good* reason for me to tell you that the a person who is monolingual is infact a "monoglot" or that the word "Monolingualist" doesn't exist... But as I have my pedantic hat on today, sheer pedantry gives me reason enough..
I however am a polyglot.. so... sug mon pimmel.
