There was a rather good programme about political correctness on the (let me
whisper it, in case any of those BBC haters are out there) BBC, last week
(Clive Anderson in the chair). It made plain the fact that most of the
attacks against political correctness which appear in certain newspapers are
debunked by the facts. There were some amusing examples. You can listen
again to it here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/pcrip/pip/mj1qc/ Your list is
an entertaining illustration of that.

Good to see you, by the way.

John

This is known as the "Bradley Effect" you may have heard of. It came about
several years ago when, then Mayor of the City of Los Angeles, Tom Bradley
(a black man) was the Democratic candidate for the Governor of the State of
California. He went into the election with a 7-10 point lead over the
Republican candidate (don't recall who that was) according to the "polls".
The Republican won by about 10 points, so where did the lead evaporate to?
The pundits surmised, probably correctly, that the lead was never there in
the first place. That when voters were polled, probably even on "exit"
polls, they said they voted for the black man when actually, being alone in
the voting booth, they opted for the white candidate. It's a shame but it's
real. Of course in the current election there's talk of a "Pahlin Effect" -
Republicans saying there for McCain when they'll actually vote Obama. Oh
well.

The sad part about the incident is that Bradley would have made a wonderful
governor. He did an outstanding job of resurrecting Los Angeles.

I didn't say I felt like an appendage, I said being called Mrs. somebody
identifie one as an appendage.  I guess if I felt like one I wouldn't mind
being called one, it's because I didn't feel like one that I objected.

What about Mr says partner?  It's Mr. before and Mr.  after.  While Mrs. was
Miss X before and Mrs. Y after.  You don't seem to understand the difference
between the relationship and the labelling.
