Around every two years they come up with something new, give or 
take a year depending on the topic. In general, I got the 
impression that once I've finally got used to using a certain 
term, it's no longer (politically or otherwise) correct, e.g. 
"STD" => "STI" ("disease" is obviously a bad bad word - unless 
you want to sell useless drugs for made-up diseases). It happens 
all the time.
