As writers, language is our greatest tool and weapon. We wield it daily in our craft, but it is just as easily turned to hate. In the last few years I’ve backed off the “politically correct” censoring of certain terms. I now consider that a mistake.

My friend Laura doesn’t blog too often, but her post today is a can’t miss on the power of language and its effect upon us.
