I have no problem with you.
I don't use the P word - I've not mentioned the N word - myself but I consider it perfectly acceptable for somebody to say, "If we beat the Paki's on Wednesday, we'll qualify for the Super 8s", I also consider it unacceptable for somebody to say, "The trouble with this country is that there are too many Paki's".
That's it really, I agree with many of the points that you have added but my original point is that there was nobody who suggested that the P word was 'just an abbreviation".
No big deal, I didn't think your wording was the best and apologies if you feel that I was being overly pedantic in questioning you.
