i think that “politically correct” ways of saying things are usually better/more accurate but i hate using pc terms that aren't the most commonly used term because im paranoid someone is going to think that im just using political correctness to appear woke or whatever without actually understanding or caring about things that actually matter. but i do like coming up with little ways to improve accuracy of language that literally only matter to me. no one can accuse me of being pc for clout if im the one who decided it was the pc way of saying something and didn't tell anyone else

#like ive started making an effort to talk about the hebrew calendar in ways that are more accurate if also more wordy #like saying “when does pesach fall on the gregorian calendar this year” rather than “whens pesach this year”#even though like i wouldnt be annoyed at someone for using the latter and it's what more people would say #i also have said “keep kashres” rather than “keep kosher”#and “become bar mitzvah”/“celebrate becoming bar mitzvah” rather than “have a bar mitzvah”#txt #actually if im being honest it's not just that im worried people will think im clout-seeking but also that im worried that people #will think that ive been brainwashed into political correctness. which is maybe something i should work on
