  • Pronunciation problems that turn ordinary words into dangerous words
  • Six social levels of language for body parts and functions:
    • Formal, informal, slang, vulgar, children's words, and euphemisms
  • New taboos in English: Terms that were safe a few years ago are now offensive
  • "Politically correct" terms for people, genders, occupations, races, and nationalities
  • Dangerous body language and gestures to understand and avoid.
