😂😂This is getting beyond a joke now It'd be quite ironic if Gary Lineker tripped up on one of these. Has anybody actually complained over something like 'cakewalk'?

That stupid reverse-engineered etymology of "nitty gritty" has been debunked as a myth time and time again.

That stupid reverse-engineered etymology of "nitty gritty" has been debunked as a myth time and time again. SEMANTIC ENIGMAS I have heard that the well used phrase 'Nitty gritty' has its origins in slave ship terminology - and is therefore an unsavoury phrase for PC enthusiasts. Hutchinson's dictionary states its origin is unknown 1960s - des anyone have further information? James Hempsall, Leicester UK The Oxford Book of Twentieth Century Words suggests that it's "a rhyming form based on grit". Incidentally, it also records its first use in print as being a quote by the field secretary for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People - so I think you're probably safe in using it. Simon Koppel, London 'Nitty gritty' emerged as a corruption of 'nigritique'. The French colonists called the African slaves and creoles 'la population nigritique'. So to get down to the 'nitty gritty' as the English speakers pronounced it was to mix with the people downtown. The standard dictionaries are coy about this derivation. Doug Gowan, Hornsey I believe it's a corruption of 'nigritique', a French word for the black and creole population. Amy Gibson, Wood Green UK The standard dictionaries do well to be 'coy' about this derivation. If it's true, how come the word only appeared in print in the 1950s or 60s? And why did it get into English at all? (including, according to some sources, African-American English). Sounds like a typical lexicographical legend to me.

I have gone my 70+ years using phrases which I am now told are "racist" and "not politically correct". This has gone beyond a joke. For the record, I have no time for racism but some people take offence when none is intended. Goodness knows what the modern generation would make of nursery rhymes we were taught in our childhood or if we purchased a certain brand of marmalade from the 1950's. By all means learn from the past and be honest and balanced in teaching history, but look to the future to ensure that people of BAME communities have equal opportunities. I see a lot of Black and Asian faces on the T.V. and they do a good job. Move on.

I "only" have a Lite version, not installed. But I guess it would be enough for my requirements, since I don't use a full version of Cubase.
