WE SHOULD

• Be careful when addressing groups or talking about others.

• Avoid language that addresses only one demographic group unless it is intended for that group only, such as using "men" when you mean "all people".

• Avoid titles that are exclusionary, such as "Chairman" (use "Chairperson"); "Fireman" (use Firefighter); and "Stewardess" (use "Flight Attendant").

• Avoid expressions that are derogatory with regard to physical or mental abilities, such as "handicapped" or "retarded".

• Avoid overly-cautious racial descriptions that can be offensive.

• Avoid the use of religious terms when speaking to a group that may include people who belong to different religions.

• Be sensitive to the inferences people may read in to the words you choose.
