How many you got?
A woke tech company in California is on a mission to do away with what it considers to be ‘violent’ ‘offensive’ and ‘negative’ words in favour of more ‘inclusive’ language.
The Daily Mail reports that the company called Phenomenex has produced a ‘guide’ to change the way people speak titled Evolving from Violent Language.
The author of the thing, Anna Taylor who has the ludicrous title of ‘diversity, equity and inclusion champion’ as well as communications director, stated “The guide is for those who would like to replace mostly violently framed idioms with more positive and inclusive language.”
This equates to getting rid of phrases such as ‘jump the gun’ and ‘roll with the punches’ (because of the gun and punches bits) and even words like ‘deadline’ (dead = bad).
The guide suggests replacing the phrase ‘kill two birds with one stone’ with ‘feed two birds with one scone’.
