I agree that our thinking should define our speaking, but how do you think, in words, or not? But what do you mean with someone being punished by law, what does spade stand for in this example?

Yes, I think in words, but not PC, gender-neutral words. I don't need any thought control, thanks very much.
I was referring to state control of language such as seen in the recent C-16 bill in Canada.
Calling a spade a spade means to tell it as it is, to call things what they are without beating about the bush.
I dont know the c16 bill. And pc is not about beating around the bush, it still is about being respectful with each other, in my opinion.
Being an intelligent adult I believe I can be trusted to choose the correct words in a given situation. I do not need to be told what is and what is not appropriate. As I said before, I believe state control of language is a dangerous thing indeed.
