I was amused to read an article about this in a South African newspaper. Here's the URL:

I agree with your sentiments, velvetviking - this PC thing is really becoming a matter for ridicule - do you know anybody who lives on the Isle of Person, or who can recite "The Seven Ages of Person"?
Are we to become (headscratching, here) huperson beings?
What about the British system of titles - that should be next. I predict that some PC recipient of a Queen's (Monarch's) birthday honours list will seek a way to be titled, in a gender non-specific way.
By the way - can anybody tell me where to get lessons on playing the persondolin, and how do I get my fingernails personicured?
MANifestly risible!
