'Homosexual' is derogatory now? Why? I tend to use it in more formal writing. https://twitter.com/SMABSO/status/828902045155459072 …
.@IonaItalia @RosesofE I've been told 'You're a Christian' by older people to mean 'You're kind'. In Pakistan, probably doesn't mean that.

'He's a Jew' cld be an accusation. 'He's Jewish' much less so. 'He's a Jewish man' less still. Coz antisemitism exists

"a homosexual" sounds weird to me because I'm pretty sure I always put "an" in front of H no "a"

Where are you?

When I started Uni, my tutor asked me what my "Christian name" was. I said "I'm not Christian"
-
Yes, synonymous with first name. A lot of older people do this. I chose to point out I'm not Xtian for a while
-
I still hesitate what to write when forms ask for my "first name/last name" instead of "given name/surname"

-
As you all know Chinese surname/given name are arrange in the opposite order, still give me pause after
-
I only recently knew this & then realised how wrong I'd been getting it & how polite Chinese people are!
-
Quite like the British, actually. "You got my name wrong but I'll let u call me it forever rather than correct
-
Hahaha I Imagine this is absolutely something that someone who's stereotypically British would do!
-
Yes! I answered to Sarah for two years!
