just_do_IT is an unknown quantity at this point
This crap has been in Canada for years and has progressively gotten worse. In my last job (Government Job) we had to take a course on what we could and could not say.

The funniest one that still stands out is in regards to people that cannot hear. For years we were taught to say "hearing impaired." The last memo I saw was to refer to them as "deaf" as they didnt like to be referred to as impaired. Quite a 360 as calling someone "deaf" was considered rude until just recently.
