What is "political correctness"? I know most Americans say they don't like it. But I'm not sure all of them could clearly articulate what exactly it is that they don't like. And I suspect many who say they don't like political correctness have different definitions.

I think if you know that your word choice will genuinely offend someone, it's almost always worth adjusting your language to avoid that. But it seems like that's often not the case.

Example: I would always call someone the pronouns they prefer. Not calling someone what they want to be called isn't just un-PC, it's being an asshole. However, I think asking everyone to introduce themselves with their pronouns sacrifices too much time to be worth it.
