Yes and I knew what you meant. Perhaps your explanation for your use of that terminology should be that it is commonly used terminology. Of course that doesn't mean that everyone in the adoption world agrees with that terminology. However, saying "I don't care if some folks don't consider it PC" gives it a particular tone and is almost like saying "I said it, what are you gonna do about it."
I still hate the use of "snowflake" so of course I'm not going to be a fan of some of the commonly used terminology.
