A poster in this thread made a comment that use of the phrase girl was indicative of an anything goes attitude that "makes us look like a third world country".
The post was either edited or deleted. I'm not going to quote something when I find the use of the terminology to be offensive. Not a requirement

Talking behind my back??? You didn't like my opinion? I stand by it.
Yes, I deleted it before I saw your comment. I wasn't in the mood for controversial comments today, so I thought I'd head them off before they started....but here I am. There is always someone offended by an opinion. Never fails.
I don't think you read my comment carefully. I was talking mostly about the lowering standards in the U.S., values, morals and poor English usage. Low standards, poor usage of languages is what we find in the third world ...the reason they are third world.
The words we use say a lot about us. It isn't just the word "girl," it's using "I seen" instead of "I saw" or "I have seen", mispronunciation of words, and others on QVC.
I stand by saying lowering standards is a trip to the third world. Some of it has already arrived.
