The biggest genocide in human history was against people of the Jewish community, yet we are still using words such as:

- boot "camp"

- Let's go "camp"ing

- you need to "concentrate" more

- lots of other words which remind of concentration camps and other cruel crimes against humanity

When will we eradicate those words from our every day language?

Heck we even use the word "work" when we know too well that Nazis used the slogan "Arbeit macht frei" (Work makes free) at the top of Auschwitz.

What does it say about Microsoft that they are still labelling the employees as "workers" and asking them to do some "work".

Maybe Microsoft should rethink the words they use and how they are harmful and contribute to genocide.



If Aliens visited earth, they would see us all and exclaim "WTF!??. Let's go back. This place sucks."
