I have some not terribly firm memory of someone from another country saying they would prefer that their country not be called a "third world country". I don't recall offhand whether this was because they preferred "developing country" or if they did not believe the designation was accurate for their country. I probably should have made a note so as not to inadvertently offend in future.
