Well one things for sure that dust storm or whatever y'all call it, ain't nothing compared to the crap storm folks are raising arguing about it.

This is a particularly stupid issue to get worked up about.  So what if a word to describe a certain type of dust storm is Arabic?  It isn't any kind of creeping PCism.

Do we stop using "monsoon" because it has its roots in Arabic?  How about "admial?"  And "algebra?"

How about sofa, mattress, syrup, jar...do we ditch those because they came into English from Arabic?

Freaking grow up, people.
Monsoon actually has it's orgins in the country of India I beleive.
