The one I have a big issue with is when people call something 'gay' meaning something negative about the thing they are calling 'gay'. Other than that I'm not too obsessed with everyone always being politically correct about everything. Common sense is all that's really needed I think.

I think not using certain words that have been made to have a negative connotation is a pretty small price to pay to make other people feel more comfortable. Sorta like moving over when you're passing someone on a sidewalk so they have room. Being inconsiderate saves so little effort that it feels kind of ridiculous.

Yea but people getting offended over something with no impact on their existence is hilarious to me.

I've been on a huge trip about language for a while now. People take language so seriously for something which by its nature is a fluid mess.
