So if I feel bad when you use the word "sacrifice" (you know, because of human sacrifice), will you stop using it? Just because I'm overly sensitive?

I mean, yeah, if you truly feel hurt when I use that word, I won't use it around you. Absolutely. It's more important to me that the people around me feel heard and seen than for me to get to use a particular word.

If a whole group of people say "hey this word makes me feel uncomfortable of hurt," then I try to modify my vocabulary accordingly and eliminate it.
