Terms that can be misinterpreted as offensive[edit]
Should this category include terms that aren't actually offensive, but that can be misinterpreted as offensive, such as niggard(ly)? Just because a word can be mistaken for another, genuinely offensive, word doesn't mean it is offensive. The page says it's only for words that actually are pejorative in some fashion, so if so, it needs to be updated. Or should there be a separate category for such words?
