Political correctness (adjectivally politically correct; commonly abbreviated PC) is a term used to describe language, policies, or measures that are intended to avoid offense or disadvantage to members of particular groups in society. Since the late 1980s, the term has been used to describe a preference for inclusive language and avoidance of language or behavior that can be seen as excluding, marginalizing, or insulting to groups of people disadvantaged or discriminated against, particularly groups defined by ethnicity, ***, gender, or sexual orientation. In public discourse and the media, the term is generally used as a pejorative with an implication that these policies are excessive or unwarranted.The phrase politically correct first appeared in the 1930s, when it was used to describe dogmatic adherence to ideology in authoritarian regimes, such as Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia. Early usage of the term politically correct by leftists in the 1970s and 1980s was as self-critical satire; usage was ironic, rather than a name for a serious political movement. It was considered an in-joke among leftists used to satirise those who were too rigid in their adherence to political orthodoxy. The modern pejorative usage of the term emerged from conservative criticism of the New Left in the late 20th century, with many describing it as a form of censorship.Commentators on the political left in the United States contend that conservatives use the concept of political correctness to downplay and divert attention from substantively discriminatory behavior against disadvantaged groups. They also argue that the political right enforces its own forms of political correctness to suppress criticism of its favored constituencies and ideologies. In the United States, the term has played a major role in the culture war between liberals and conservatives.

Correct the grammar
1. Dear sir,
2. I have seen an advertisement of your apartment.
3. What would be the total price for two weeks?
4. We will be six people.
According to traditional grammar rules, after the verb “to be” we need a predicate in nominative case (ie. This is she. It is I.) and so “It’s just you and I” is correct.
But out here in the real world, almost everyone feels more comfortable with the idea that after a verb we use objective...
No.
It should be “going,” but “to go” is correct also.
However, note that “everyday” is an adjective, and what is called for here is an adverb (or adverbial phrase) to describe the verb “do,” such as “every day,” not the adjective “everyday.”
It is common to hear “The next thing to do is …,” but this is not correct.
It should be, “The next thing to be done is ….”
However, the first sentence can be made correct by adding a phrase such as
“The next thing [for us][for me][for you][for someone] to do is ….”
It would be grammatically correct, but its meaning would change. The original sentence reads:
“Can you give me some indication as to when I am likely to receive a reply?”
If we deleted “as to” it would read:
“Can you give me some indication when I am likely to receive a reply?”
The meaning...
Both can be correct since “which” and “that” are used in British speech and writing as relative pronouns or relative determiners that introduce subordinate clauses (e.g., in this case, “which/that never changes”).
However, in American speech and writing, “which” is reserved for introducing...
“Because of” is incorrect.
It’s an adverbial phrase, so it must modify a verb, not a noun phrase (“my hobby”).
“Due to” is an adjectival phrase, so it can modify a noun phrase (“my hobby”).
So the sentence should be: “This may be due to my hobby, which is playing guitar.”
To get “because...
Both could be used.
However, the use of “whether” always implies at least one alternative.
So, if “whether” is used, the sentence should be either:
“They discussed whether they should build a hospital or not.”
or
“They discussed whether they should build a hospital or a nursing home.”
We should say “All these” because the preposition “of” would mean that only some of these were being referred to.
Examples:
We should say “Two of these flowers are wilting,” not “Two these flowers are wilting.”
We should say “All these flowers are beautiful” or “All are,” not “All of these...
Yes.
It is said in response to a statement that is open-ended.
For example, if one person makes an empty statement such as “A wet bird never flies at night,” the second person could respond “And so?”
It means, “Please provide a reasonable conclusion to your proposal.”
Neither is correct.
It should be either "two levels" or "two-level."
Numbers less than 10 should be written out, while those 10 and above should be written as numerals.
Each of these examples can be correct, under different conditions.¹
"Two levels" is a compound noun.
"Two-level" is a...
Using Paris as an example location, “He has been to Paris” emphasizes the speaker's presence in Paris, while “He has gone to Paris” emphasizes the speaker's journey to Paris.
There may also be the overtone of a difference between the two, in that “He has been to Paris” suggests that the...
The sentence should read, “Some husbands do not approve of their wives’ having jobs.”
Notice the possessive apostrophe appended to the noun “wives.”
Why?
Because the noun before a gerund acquires (and requires) an apostrophe to show possession.
So it is a grammatical error in the original...
The first option is incorrect because it is incomplete.
It should be: “I’m looking forward to meeting you.”
Otherwise, it is correct.
The second option is incorrect because you need to look forward to a thing—a noun—not an infinitive verb.
The first option uses a gerund, “meeting,” which...
“She is older …” is correct.
The comparative “elder” is reserved as an adjective for brothers and sisters, and as a noun, describing people who are recognized as respected older members of a family or social group. Examples:
“She is older than he is.”
“She is his elder sister.”
“Of the two...
Neither is correct.
A person does not “have” a language; a person speaks a language.
You could change it to: “He speaks good English,” “He has a good command of English,” or “His [command of] English is good.”
Either can be correct, depending on the idea you want to express.
”On that day, which was a Tuesday, my sister and I went to the store together.”
”In that day, before antibiotics had been discovered, many people died from diseases which are now curable.”
”On that day” refers to one...
