I'm enjoying this new tread in PSAs becoming popular to absolutely drop any kind of soft language. I've mentioned before that harsh, direct language is often uncomfortable, but it strips away the kind of mushmouthed grey area that often we use to justify the unjustifiable. For example, a lot more people will support a priest who 'abused his position' than will one who 'raped a child'.
