<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1853574, member: 19463&quot;]In general, I prefer we not introduce confusion by trying to correct errors of technical fact of political correctness that have been in place seemingly forever.&nbsp; I prefer to use Byzantine simply because more people know what we are talking about.&nbsp; Similarly, I have no use for BCE/CE for BC/AD and don&#039;t want to rename Galerius as Maximianus II or Elagabalus as Antoninus Pius III.&nbsp;&nbsp; Frankly, I don&#039;t care what the Washington football team wants to call themselves because I don&#039;t care for football.&nbsp; At present there are those who wish to make English easier for second language folks by eliminating idioms, grammar and spelling inconsistencies.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m willing to add Wayne&#039;s term to my vocabulary but not to remove the one he finds objectionable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
