UK looking for outside production facilities

[Makeitstop]

And even the thread title illustrates the point "UK looks for outside production facilities" - I automatically thought, until I read more that the United Kingdom was looking to export more jobs abroad!

And in the same way, I never think of traveling when someone talks about studying abroad.


But yes, political correctness puts all the emphasis on the word and not the meaning. I've actually found people who are shocked that I'm OK with being described as white. True, I'm actually more of an off-white, pale pink with a hint of yellowish brown, but that's a bit of a mouthful.

This reminds me of my grandma. Til the day she died she never had any idea that people might be offended by monosyllabic descriptors which haven't been acceptable 40 years or so. It was always hilarious after spending so much time in a world where anything which was associated with the slightest hint of theoretical offense became banned.
