Here's my thing.
yes some people find it degrating, but it is is also 1 syllable compared to 4. it comes out easier. and while some get offend, many more use it themselves. it is kinda like the rush/plege/rushee thing with NPC. We know we aren't supposed to say it, but it is soooooo much easier than recruitment/new member/ PNM. it is a matter of symantics, i think the context should be more important than the word. Maybe instead of being offended, NIC needs to reclaim the word. Just like the gay community and 'queer' just a thought, it would be much easier.
