Where are we REALLY going to draw the line... consider some scientific and astronomical terms.


There will be those offended or upset by the fact that the planets are named after Roman or Greek gods. Christians or Muslims for example, as the Roman and Greek gods are considered Pagan.


Many stars have Arabic names. Will these offend the religious stalwarts? (especially in the USA). Heaven forbid, Muslim names in the sky...


I've even heard offence at the naming of Cyclones/Hurricanes due to their female or male naming depending on hemisphere etc.


You can never appease the unreasonable unappeasable, as they will consider it their right to be forever the vocal minority.
