The latter is somewhat understandable, as women undergoing chemo or who just happen to have alopecia don't want to be called WITCH ...

Am I the only person that finds the term "enormous" to be more offensive? And personally old fiction shouldn't be being edited, it should just be common sense to people that things were different back in Roald Dahl's day, and if you can't handle that then don't read his stuff.
