Have you thought of 'many better ones' yet? If you have don't forget to explain them, you shouldn't assume we're all as quick as you.

Sorry If I appeared condescending. I just don't really see the problem with somebody choosing to make a word gender neutral word when they are speaking. I really wouldn't of minded if he said "unmanned", either works.
I have no problem with people deciding to use gender neutral words. I have more of a problem when people tell people they cannot use perfectly acceptable words, taking it too far. (ie. Baa Baa Rainbow sheep/Dry wipe board).
Using "PC gone mad" has become a bit of a bitter shield against change of language that occurs in society to promote cohesion.
Stewart Lee puts it better than I ever could.
Sorry my computer crashed, its PC gone mad!
