This is not true at all. The absolute trainwreck that is "écriture inclusive" is spearheading those inclusivity initiatives, and we have also incorporated a lot of the other words mentioned here in the language.
- BrandoElFollito 4y agoécriture inclusive is basically non-existent in France, whee did you see it except on some university pages that wanted to be "ahead of their time"? It is BTW forbidden by the ministry of education. Which other words have we incorporated? Un handicapé is a disabled person. We do not have any "mobility challenged" words. Aveugle is blind, malvoyant is vision impaired (which is not the same, one being an extreme of the other). There was an attempt to use iel as il+elle (he+she). The only places you can read it is in articles that debate whether it is a good thing on not. It is completely absent elsewhere. Now - my comment was about everything except that intro line.
- Nemrod67 4y agoGuess you never heard the joke about the Education Nationale using the term "Référentiel Bondissant" to designate balloons/balls... Quick search indicates it was used by the Grenoble academy at one point in the 2000s XD
- BrandoElFollito 4y agoThis is indeed unexpected (details at https://www.liberation.fr/societe/2015/05/26/referentiel-rebondissant-l-affaire-rebondit_1316547/ https://www.liberation.fr/societe/2015/05/26/referentiel-reb..., in French obviously). This said there has always been some insanities here and there in the administration - but they remain funny. I know "outil scripteur" for instance (this is a pen)
