Often it is. Simply changing from familiar terms to artificial terms is a cost.
- vkou 4y agoAll of language is artificial.
- joe_the_user 4y agoMy point is that inclusion isn't like a check written out to an excluded group. Inclusion benefits society by making things run more smoothly, it benefits various bureaucracy since the bureaucracies can deal with more people and so-forth. And the cost is a small amount of understandability, yes. But even that isn't necessary paid by those outside the exclude group.
