It’s not just the cheap money, it’s across the board woke language policing. While we should all strive to be more inclusive, it shouldn’t be at the expense of honest and clear communication.
- cpursley 4y agoJust a random example, but Delta airline now calls turbulence “rough air” as if that’s more reassuring… I’d rather be spoken to like an adult.
- input_sh 4y agoThis has nothing to do with "wokeness" or inclusivity, this is known as past exonerative. It's a way of distancing yourself from the blame. "Mistakes were made" instead of "we made mistakes". Or "a suspect was killed in an officer-involved shooting" instead of "a policeman killed the suspect". "Teammates were impacted" instead of "we laid people off". It's like saying "shit happens, who knows who's to blame" when we all know who's to blame.
