Because while the "inappropriate'' word has great import among the virtuous, its meanings and applications are now so inexact, the word is no longer fit for purpose. Whatever - the gist of the resulting story was: "Male MP in 'inappropriate' social media contact with 15-year-old girl''. When would it ever be OK for a middle-aged man, let alone an MP, to be contacting your daughter on social media, snap chat.'' "Inappropriate'' - this twisted, vague, multipurpose word had been used to begin a mission to make Bishop seem a sleaze. Inappropriate is inappropriate, and its banning should be advocated by our moral guardians.
