These posters, designed by graphic artist Alison Rowan, are a bold, aesthetic way to speak out against what I think of as language laziness: using a word in an inappropriate way because the speaker is too lazy to search for the right one. These posters show how one can replace a word used in a derogatory manner with a more specific and appropriate one.
They also show one language's great advantages: the ability to say exactly what you mean to say. If you truly feel strongly about what you say, why wouldn't you want such a powerful advantage?
