I totally disagree with you on that point. I remember when that man was fired and I thought that was totally wrong. Niggardly is a word that has a meaning. It is not his fault that he has a better vocabulary than some of his coworkers. I thought the idiot in the case was the black man who filed the complaint against him. Are we going to start penalizing people for having a good vocabulary?
