Political correctness (also politically correct, P.C. or PC) is a term used in various countries to describe real or perceived attempts to impose limits on language, terms, and viewpoints in public discussion in order to avoid potentially offensive terminology.
However, critics of political language choice argue the new terms are often awkward, euphemistic substitutes for the original stark language concerning differences such as race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion and political views.
Some on the political left reject the conservative definition of the term when applied as a blanket political epithet to all liberals and leftists, but do concede there is indeed a pervasive political correctness which has become a problem on the left.

Spellings, who has been working on education issues for Bush since the 1990s and his days as a Texas governor, is the person who from the very beginning has had to make NCLB work.
Her tenure has been marked by a pragmatism that is both political and based on the real-world state of affairs in education: a jumble of noisy education advocacy groups, unhappy state education chiefs, and members of her own party who don’t support the law’s federal reach into local schools.
Spellings is going to need more than her pragmatism if she wants to see reauthorization of the No Child Left Behind Act move forward and ensure the education legacy of President Bush.

 Helpful Hints for Census Searching - Lachance/Bussell Family Genealogy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
Many names are spelled phonetically--so look at logical substitutions: "C" = "K"; "S" = "C"; "Ch" = "Sh" ="Sch", etc. It helps if you are know the language backgrounds of the census taker and the household.
Phonetic spellings might crop up that make sense in their languages (for example, an Irish census taker and a Polish household) but not in English.
They are very useful, but, one should take any information with a grain of salt; don't expect exact matches of dates, places, names; and if you don't find relatives where they said they are, look harder for alternative name spellings, or if near a boundary in the next county over.
