Point taken.
My wife is a school teacher. I had hurt my back and I sent her an email describing the pain as "throbbing" which was immediately rejected by her system's spam filter.
Some people who graduated "magna cum laude" have had their resumes rejected.
What I meant by "political correctness" was humans go to such lengths not to offend (and expose themselves to lawsuits) that they program computers to go to ridiculous lengths to "protect" us from each other.
