Doris, PC = political correctness. To put it in simple terms, it’s the practice of never saying or doing anything that could be considered remotely offensive to any person or group. (For example, “black” becomes “African-American,” “Indian” becomes “Native American,” “dwarf” becomes “little person,” etc.) It’s certainly not just with language, but that’s what most people think of when they think of political correctness.
