   Language is helpful, it betrays a person's viewpoints and their level of respect.

   Mispronunciations and other triggers to start ignoring a person:

   kaMAHlah
   Barack Hussain Obama
   EYErack
   EYEran
   EYEtalian
   Nevahda
   Nookyular
   President Trump

   A caveat: I was taught that the President title was for life and "former" is improper. The problem is that Trump claims to have won 2020 and addressing him as such leads to confusion. So I think the rules have changed because of his treason.
