Yes, indeed. We might speculate at length on why we are so doggone sensitive to perceived insults. I have resisted political correctness. My Warner Books' editor wanted me to back off on how I wrote about the new-old housing design now popular:
"The Disney Company doesn’t sell chimes, yet, but it has the do-re-mi to build about anything it wants. A cattle pasture near Orlando is becoming the new town of Celebration. The lucky winners of a drawing were allowed to write checks for their choice of housing: Estate, Village, Cottage, Townhomes, Apartments. All commercial buildings vill be owned by Disney. The population of Celebration vill be 20,000. The houses vill be painted approved colors. There vill be no clothes on lines in der yards. Achtung!"

Stet!
