I think since it's so low effort to switch between them that it acts as a good way to see if someone is willing to change their perspective or are stubborn. This is the least material thing though it's just annoying to hear sometimes because chuds over enunciate the first two Cs.

chuds would over enunciate and use CPC like a slur if it became the common parlance, that's just a matter of tone.

i can see both sides of the non chud equation though and i don't think either are worthwhile. yes if someone switches terminology for you it means they're flexible and respectful. but many people, even fellow travellers and comrades can take semantic corrections in a hostile way. focusing on spelling, grammar, naming conventions etc can be seen as ignoring or sidestepping what someone is actually trying to say.

Good point.

People . . . can take semantic corrections in a hostile way.

took me more than relationship to internalize this, even when you don't mean anything hostile by it.
