Nobody's suggesting considering every word. Only those that people make clear they find offensive. There's nothing wrong with adapting to changing societal norms. People manage to have conversations here all the time without having objections to the origins of some of the words used. Is it so terrible that people might be expected to find a new synonym for "hysterical" (regardless of how its being used) when they find out that many find it offensive?
