RP> Anyway, it is politically-incorrect to call it 'Farsi'.

"not preferred" or "not standard conformant" accepted, but "politically
incorrect"? I thought the latter requires any offensiveness (like "Eskimo"
vs. "Inuit") or discrimination (like "español" vs. "castellano" in
Spain). Is the English word "Farsi" really "bad" rather than "wrong"?
