Do Words Matter?

This article describes how society makes new words for harsh terms. like Garbage man is now called sanitation worker. i dont understand why we have to think of new terms to call harsh words. people are just jerks these days. i will call the people who pick up my trash garbage men because that is what they are if they are too ashamed to call them selve that then they shouldnt have the job. i pick up trash for my fathers construction company, you can call me whatever you like but in the end ill still just be picking up trash. yeah it may be a gross job low on the pay scale but it has to be done. there are also terms that have been changed to make people feel better about themselves like deferred instead of failed. if i fail at anything i know it is my fault. if it is a test i obviously didnt get enough help or didnt study enough, i do not need to make up words to make myself feel better cause in the end i know that i failed. i think that people care too much about what other people think. you can call me dumb or a failure but i dont care im not going to say things like im not dumb im just under educated. if i am dumb in a certain subject so be it it is probably because i dont try very hard and it is all my fault. so my moral is do what you want and dont care what people say about it or you.
