Well, you censored the bulk of my argument with the quote there :) It&#x27;s  regular, frequent usage...<p>I don&#x27;t think I&#x27;ve come close to calling anyone a neanderthal, sorry if this has riled some emotions. If you are  younger, you will certainly have a lot more pressure to use it (you can be ostracized), so you probably should use it.<p>Also, people tend to have a cognitive bias against judging themselves as conformist... myself included. We probably all are more than we would like to admit.
