If for example you refer to lesbians as Lebanese, call someone named Jim "Jeremy", or refer to someone from Scientology as a "neurologist", does it successfully communicate that you think the person isn't worth learning to identify correctly? Just wondering.

I wonder if people think I am putting down Democrat voters when I call them "^%$#$#$"? :)

(Just joking. I don't say bad words.)
