You think I am being a little harsh, and I think she she was a bit overly offended. We all have different POVs. I just don't think MCT needs to give every definition of every word to avoid offending someone, especially when his curriculum leans towards the etymological side (IMO) to begin with.
As a PP said, discuss it with your child. I simply have chosen not to be offended.
Seeing as how the OP liked my response, I think she understood where I was coming from.
