use of “brainstorming” squelched
the word “brainstorming” will no longer be used by staff at the department of enterprise, trade and investment [deti] in belfast. why, you ask? because the word has been deemed politically incorrect because it might offend people with epilepsy. i know it’s important to be sensitive, but come on, this is ridiculous. some people are always looking for something to complain about, so i bet some of those people [who undoubtedly don’t even have epilepsy] headed the campaign against “brainstorming.”
the new term? “thought showers.”
