Words matter!

A true story?

My father in law's favourite RAF story was this:
The Archbishop of Canterbury flew in to New York. As he got off the plane he was surrounded with a mass of cameras and microphones.
All the journalists were screaming at him. Then one very loud voice dominated the rest:
"Will you be visiting any night clubs while you are over here?"
The Archbishop thought.
Then he made his innocent reply:
"Are there any night clubs in New York?"

Next day's headline:

ARE THERE ANY NiGHT CLUBS IN NEW YORK? DEMANDS ARCHBISHOP.

Yet another

Old men especially are particularly prone to this kind of thing.
The part time DJ thought it was a hilarious thing to do to lampoon the presentation of Megan Marcle's baby as a performing chimp with his two handlers.
He did not know that this was now racist.
That cost him his job.

Advice to Twitter Users:

Don't.

Moral:

Always think who you are writing for.
