The first line claims that
Kotobagari refers to a reluctance to use non-PC, and other non euphamistic words, but I think kotobagari means a "hunt" for or, "pouncing upon non PC (etc) words", and is therefore the cause of the reluctance. E.g. The broadcast was reluctant to refer to the language spoken
683:
I think this article deserves to remain separate given that not all of the words given as examples are considered offensive to *particular groups* - "slaughterhouse?" - it also seems to apply to words which are merely considered impolite or unseemly. Seems to me that this concept is actually broader,
446:
Which would be quite in line with
European names for each other's countries and languages anyway. Glaring examples such as the word "mute" (suggesting an inability to speak a familiar language) still meaning German (language, person, or origin; but not country) in Russian come to mind, but there's oh
817:
Many of the examples seem to have no relation to 'PC', aggrandising job titles is not particularly a 'PC' phenomenon, avoiding 'disability pejoratives' and metaphors might be if avoiding offence is the reason, but no reason is given here. The inability for two states to agree on a name is a naming
695:
who says that there is no reason to have this article. If it offers new insight into cultures that people who cant read
Japanese might be able to come across than it's great. I think it would be great to translate the Russian page too. Knowledge (XXG) is the sum of all human knowledge, after all.
730:
Regarding the section on the use of "Hangul" to refer to spoken Korean: I don't think this qualifies as a neologism, which I understand to mean the creation of an entirely new word. In this case, an existing word has taken on an additional meaning. Surely there's a linguist or grammarian or
597:
There's also no reliable source basis for
Kotabagari at all. The entire idea of taking a Japanese word, transliterating it to English, and talking about it with a Japanese context seems to go against the idea of an English Knowledge (XXG). It doesn't seem different from taking

so many. Or the even more popular reverse examples, like the turkey (American bird) being named after Turkey (country) to simply mean "Weird, bizarre, alien-looking", or
America misnaming the Musk Duck as the Muscovy ("of Moscow Region") Duck, despite its American origins.
752:
I think it's because it's Hangul-go. Go is a suffix attached to (usually) a country name to provide the name of the language eg furansu (France) furansugo (French). So it's putting together "Hangul" and "go" to make Hangul-go. I think this counts as a

602:, the Russian term for political correctness, and making an article on the English Knowledge (XXG) under "Politicheskaya Correktnost'". This is the basic idea: they mean the same thing. They don't need separate articles.
505:
I find no cite that states that
Kotobagari is Japanese for "political correctness" or the same concept as "political correctness." Is there one? If there is, then merger makes sense, otherwise delete this article as
