       @john @richturnermusic Well, John from a libertarian server, you are equivocating.If you say something is universal, it can mean several things. Like made by a film company called Universal Studios. (One of the definition of universal I just looked up.)But in the modern realm of public policy, universal means applicable to all cases for all people in the world or among some group. Like, citizens.See universal adult suffrage compared to universal human rights. Both uses are valid.

       @john I also dislike some terms/phrases. And I'm also someone who has trouble understanding what people mean in everyday speech.But I don't think it's misleading. Both public policy experts and the population at large would intuitively understand what was meant. And its standard language.That people who have trouble with communication and specific subcultures might be confused about it says more about us, them and you than the word choice.But your reasons for not preferring it are valid.

       @realcaseyrollins Why? You mean C&Ds for trademark infringements? It's pretty clearly Parody so it might be fine.
