Language is like sex!

I pick this up somewhere.

"Language issues have some of the characteristics of sex: Everyone does it, and consequently everyone think they are an expert.”
“However, it is neither teachers nor parents who teach most adolescents about sex; rather it is a cadre of other adolescents mostly characterised by knowing little about the matter."

Sadly, our education process is politicised by both sides of the divide.
