CassetteFuturism

Oh, I totally agree. I was the one who was chastised for using the term at work, and I still kind of think it was stupid for anyone to get upset about it. At the same time, I totally understand that language evolves, and things that were once completely normal to say without a thought can sometimes no longer be ok. It might have been the first time I ever encountered this particular language problem with my own parlance. I’ve certainly encountered older people using terms I find racist, sexist, etc., without thinking about it, and wondered how they could not realize. And then it happened to me! Very weird. For me, anyway. Am I making sense?
