I assign the needless renaming of things. The local hospital has renamed the Maternity Unit, "The Birthing Centre" - I assume that it is a dumbing down for the benefit of the "service users" who are taking a break from their secondary education and may not be able to cope with latinate words
- unless of course they are anticipating some medical breakthrough that would enable men to give birth and they need a gender neutral name (which would be such a splendid prospect that I'd forgive them!!) but my main gripe is that apart from sounding like something you do to ships, I think that it is a bad move to get too graphic with most medical things. Will the operating theatre become "the Carvery"? And ... well I am sure you can imagine others for yourselves.....
