Let's play a game.

Don't say PowerPoint presentation, say slidedeck
Don't say Word, say text document
Don't say Photoshop, say image editing
Don't say Excel, say spreadsheet
Don't say...

Language is important. When corporate companies own the names of the tasks or the digital items you create, you have become a cog in their branding machine.

@DrPen I would take this language battle a bit further:

do not say GOP/POTUS administration, say "Regime"
do not refer to DEI and immigration deportation as policies, but "ethnic cleansing"
do not say GOP, say AFFP(ie America's First Fascist Party)
do not say POTUS, say Felon President Trump
and many others

@yuhasz01 @DrPen

We are seeing a regime and ethnic cleansing in action and its appropriate to name this as such, but I find it unfair to shit on all the persecuted people unfairly convicted of felony offenses and reformed criminals just cos we don't like the most infamous felon atm, like being a felon doesn't mean a person is bad, there are more meaningful ways to describe and call out Trump's lack of morals and competence

@adamsaidsomething @DrPen Fair point...use term criminal ...better psychopath
