That also sounds like it's missing the point since my joke was about people being over sensitive, not the difference between dates and abbreviations.
Presumably people will choose to refer to old sailing vessels as "Steam Ship" this or that, in case the "S.S." prefix reminds them of genocide.
Fair enough, and the "abreviations/dates" comment was just me feeling pedantic and being in a bad mood, sorry. It's not that I agree with their choice or would do the same, I can just see why their marketing team decided to do so. Jokes like "___ will have to change/remove ____" make it sound like people think some governing body forced them to change to appease the few people who got upset over nothing.
And something I forgot to mention; I do think it's ridiculous that they're going back and changing the badges or outright removing them from older cars. I meant I could see them taking that approach moving forward, but going back and changing historical cars for such a small thing just seems really stupid.
