They (the pc brigade) changed the D to an I as an infection 'obviously' sounds so much better than a disease... :o
Erm ... no. The term was corrected because you can carry, and pass on, an infection but not actually show any symptoms and, in medical terms, an infection is not a disease unless, and until, it starts to physically affect you.
HIV is an STI, for example, and not everyone who is infected with HIV will necessarily develop AIDS (which in any case is not a disease). Likewise very few women infected with HPV will develop cervical cancer as a result.
Not all changes are driven by political correctness, particularly in scientific or medical circles. Sometimes (actually most of the time) things are changed because knowledge, and/or understanding, of an issue has developed and rendered the previous name misleading or plain inaccurate.

WOW ! okay.. .
Didn't mean to go off one and derail the thread, sorry, it is just an area I happen to work in.
And, as far as the PC thing goes ... it is much worse to have an infection than a disease, because you usually know you have a disease, whereas you can pass an infection on to others without knowing you even have it.

I'm a teacher too. Doesn't mean I bring up disgusting talk down to a level you did. Be ashamed. You should. This is a game site.
WTF? @dcacooper was absolutely correct to post that, and in no way was it "disgusting", nor should he be ashamed. You were being an asshat and he called you on it, plain and simple.- EA_LannaCommunity ManagerIt looks like the OP gotten his answer within the first few comments. As the thread has derailed I will close this discussion. Thank you.
