Political Correctness

There are times in life where you know that the best way to make someone understand something is to speak clearly, use the least amount of words, and make the biggest impact you can in the shortest amount of time. To achieve this, political correctness and politeness are usually thrown right out the window. Here are some examples from both sides in a workplace environment:

Dear Employees:

It has been brought to management's attention that some individuals throughout the company have been using foul language during the course of normal conversation with their co-workers.

Due to complaints received from some employees who may be easily offended, this type of language will no longer be tolerated.

We do, however, realize the critical importance of being able to accurately express your feelings when communicating with co-workers.
