I've pretty much had my say on this issue: After perhaps an understandable initial negative reaction, the innocuous meaning of the word should have been explained, everyone should have had a good laugh about it and gotten promptly back to work. The End.
But I just have to interject here how much I love the above statement.

I don't know about this, I don't think it's too much to ask of people to become a part of the real world where everything isn't dished out to them on black and white plates. No pun intended. I think those in this situation who stubbornly refused to admit they reacted in a shallow, premature way are the ones in denial of "the real world," if anyone is. As is anyone who capitulated to them.
