*gasp* They're called letter carriers!

Just goes to show you how politically INcorrect I really am, huh?

Maybe it is just my small southern part of the world (remember, we are backwards and poorly educated) but I have never used, nor heard anyone else use (real-life people, that is... ) the term letter carrier or mail carrier.
Nor will Iuse the term. I like mail man.
I had a wonderful mail man in Naples. We had several delightful conversations. She shared my love of dogs.

There will always be something that offends someone. Other than being considerate, polite, loving, caring, respectful of others, I do not believe in changing a language/culture to be politically correct.
