[@MoiraEl] Basically, just personally don't like the word, like people hate the word moist? And I hate the word mumble because it's a smartass way to say you weren't paying attention that people used a little too often for me. :P

I think it's similar to how any human being that uses the word Caucasian (so nobody) and African American. (way too many.) It's trying to be politically correct, when it honestly just sounds worse to me, like your talking down to the person...so I get that. Though it's likely they're using that word, to avoid offending people.
