Point taken.
My wife is a school teacher. I had hurt my back and I sent her an
email describing the pain as "throbbing" which was immediately
rejected by her system's spam filter.
Some people who graduated "magna cum laude" have had their resumes rejected.
What I meant by "political correctness" was humans go to such lengths
not to offend (and expose themselves to lawsuits) that they program
computers to go to ridiculous lengths to "protect" us from each other.
