This article by John Derbyshire
turned up on arts and Letters Daily yesterday, the best definition and description of it I have seen to date (and it is an extremely difficult thing to properly define), and also goes into the pitfalls and problems in some depth. It is also a very balanced treatment of the subject, recognising that PC sprang from good intentions and only gained the name and reputation it now has when it went beyond simple courtesy into nonsensical speech codes and other extremes, overcompensating for past ills.
