Maclean, you'd do better reading "Politics and the English language". In either case, it speaks of ignorance as to how language function if you think PC means anything. You can call it whatever you want and it means the same exact thing... ever notice how "special" is being used pejoratively since it was co-opted to describe retards?
In either case, the problem here is referencing what is a land/nation as a person. It's stupid.
