We've talked about Washington state's "gender-neutral" language bill, and the Governor's now signed it into law. No more firemen -- they're firefighters. No more policemen -- they're police officers. No more ombudsmen -- they're, and this is not a joke, ombuds. Freshmen? Nope, first-year students. Penmanship? No, just handwriting, and that one doesn't have the same connotation, does it? So we're scrubbing the language of gender, whether appropriate or not. (KOMO-TV/Seattle)
