I still say the the majority, if not all "PC offence" is offered and suffered by people claiming to be offended "on behalf of those that ought to be offended"

That is exactly my view - there appears to be a body of (unelected) people - unelected but having power and influence - who imagine that certain groups will be offended by certain words or phrases and do their best to change what we can say. There is a big difference between respect and PC and these people do not realise that forcing their beliefs on the populus actually decreases respect of the supposedly enraged group(s).
My group - the majority - is enraged at PC, so where can we go from that point?
PS I have never seen a tracable dictat about nitty-gritty or it's supposed origins. I have heard that it is nothing to do with slaves.
So, getting down to the nitty-gritty, continue to speak freely with respect!
