Okay, so, um, I don't suppose this is a point which needs to be made, but indulge me and read this article, and see if you can find the word in question, which is wholly relevant to the story and the issue the story outlines. See if the word appears there, in this story about the word. Yep, we're all intelligent grown-up human beings, not apes in suits. And just because we can't discuss a matter of virtually no importance without striking out particular words which offend us, doesn't mean that we will avoid or negate entire issues or viewpoints should they conflict with our beliefs. Thoughtful, inclusive dialogue is assured.

We're not apes in suits? Oh, you mean because not all of us are into more formal wear.
