We observe nowadays a tendency to invent verbal circumlocutions, and pressure people to use these circumlocutions instead of the simpler everyday words. In particular, every noun that describes a category of persons is liable to get this treatment. The circumlocution typically consists of some adjective followed by "person".

The newest target is the word "mummy". The campaign pressures us to say "mummified person" instead.

I object to that, and not only because there is no good reason for the inconvenience of the change. A corpse (mummified or not) is not any type of person; it is not a person. Death ends a person's existence; a corpse is what a person's body becomes after the person dies. I will continue to use the noun, "mummy."

Speaking of which, I have a hunch that sooner or later a similar demand will target the word "corpse".

I think persons deserve certain respect, but that is no reason to pressure people to perform a ceremony to demonstrate it, every time we use a noun which refers to a set of persons. Doing so a nuisance.
