    I never thought I’d start a thread like this, yet here I am

    Just heard the presenter on Nova refer to a Snowman as a Snowperson and Snowpeople

    Apparently after googling it’s been politically incorrect to call it a snowman for a very long time

    where is the reset button?

    Why does it bother you? No one is forcing you to say it.

    My whole life myself and the whole world has been calling it a snowman. Now apparently that’s not correct, and you’re wondering why this bothers me? It’s a thread on AH. It’s a conversation starter

    Nobody is forcing you to reply, yet you did

    They're just as bad assuming that it wants to be called a snowperson. Maybe they prefer to be called snowmen but no one thought to ask them.

    Another thread where people get outraged about people getting outraged.

    People that build snowmen are racist anyway. They only build white snowmen! :)

    Never heard snowperson till now. So now I've 2 words for the same thing, whats the problem? .
    Most Irish people wouldn't have a clue what your on about, if talked to them about pc.
    Can you describe a scenario where this becomes a problem? you being so weak as to feel pressure to conform to this is not a problem.

    The only difference in a snowman and a snow person is snowballs.

    They're all snowflakes

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    It's a snowman, if you happen to make a snowwoman then it's a snowwoman.

    Anyone that says snowperson is a gimp.

    I know you're going to struggle on and fight through this.
    I hear PC mentioned every now and again lately and I'm failing to see where the problem is. Your opening post certainly sounds like you are feeling some pressure to conform.

    While we're on the topic, what about Mother Nature?
    Is it 'Parent' Nature these days?
