It is good to choose to not contribute to pain by being precise in your language.

It is also good to meet people where they are and let them grow in their own time rather than trying to berate them into matching your own current standards. 🫂

I agree, however when those two things come into conflict, I'm more interested in protecting the people who are victims of the collateral damage than I am interested in protecting the egos of those who caused the collateral damage. No one can "unring" the bell which means the only way to protect them is to encourage a world where the bell gets rung less and less frequently.

Yes, most likely, but even then it's not entirely contained.

The concept of "Social Proof" applies.

When monkeys see another monkey doing X, the other monkeys are more likely to do X too because it has been Social Proofed.
