Some people will take offense at ANYTHING. Seriously - I once lived in a little garden apartment complex and one person was deeply offended that someone had awakened her at, like, 2am ... because they thought the building was on fire.
When she was ranting about how inconsiderate it was, I suggested that the next time she could be left to burn ... which, of course, also offended her.

What is kind of amusing is that the person who was telling me how rude this was is also made because the University had a campaign to stop people from using the word "retard".
Hivemind - does my now former employer have to pay me out vacation leave? Ta.
eta:
No, our vacation policy states that vacation and/or sick time has no monetary value. We do not pay out for time not taken.
Well, shit.
I would say time accrued would have to be paid unless there are special circumstances.
Is that legal to say vacation time has no monetary value? What a fucked up policy.
That... fails logic. If it's part of their compensation package (like, "we offer n days of vacation a year"? as opposed to "for these random two weeks, you're furloughed with no choice in the matter"?), it has a value, no matter how hard they try to douchemonkey their way out of it.

This varies state-to-state. In California, it counts as wages, but most states don't assign it value. It's a gift.
