Only that politically correct words often sound ridicilous and funny. Especially so if they're artificially made up for Russian to replace words that have been in use forever.

Those are words that have always been offensive, at least in contemporary Russian... but conjurations like "chelovek s osobennimi potrebnostami" sound just... weird. If I were disabled, I'd feel like a person who calls me that was laughing at me.

Mary Ann & Ginger we not characters in the Gilligan's Island pilot.

Marco Polo's writings don't mention the Great Wall of China.

American declared its independence on July 2, 1776 (it took Jefferson & the Continental Congress two days to write & finalize the Declaration of Independence).

Oh yeah, and George Washington never chopped down a cherry tree as a youth. Parson Weems made up that story for his biography of Washington.

You can't see the Great Wall of China from space, not with the naked eye. Not from orbit, and definitely not from the Moon.

Also, Polo's writings were not necessarily true. Nor did Polo bring pasta to Italy from China.

This is turning into the "Debunk your pet urban legend" thread, which I guess is an improvement!
