Hi, Ana María: It would be interesting if you could comment on the following. Since last week, the name of "swine flu" has been substituted by "Influenza A, N1H1". The BBC webpage mentioned this in one of their articles last week, yet up to this date, they continue using the former name as does Yahoo in its news reports;we all know this is now a loaded word, as it has discriminatory undertones. Your program is an important forum for raising awareness about political correctness. Please do comment on this. More power to you and I think your program is great. Regards, Carmen
