Words that used to be acceptable can now get you cancelled. People are afraid of making embarrassing mistakes. Or sounding outdated or out of touch. Or not being as respectful as they intended.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBut it's not as complicated as it might seem. Linguistic anthropologist Suzanne Wertheim offers six easy-to-understand principles to guide any communication-written or spoken-with anyone: \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eReflect reality\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eShow respect\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eDraw people in\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eIncorporate other perspectives\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003ePrevent erasure\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eRecognize pain points\u003c\/i\u003e This guide clarifies the challenges-and the solutions-to using ''''they\/them, '''' and demonstrates why ''''you guys'''' isn't as inclusive as many people think. If you follow the principles, you'll know not to ask a female coworker with a wedding ring about her husband-because she might be married to a woman. And you'll avoid writing things like ''''America was discovered in 1492, '''' because that's just when Europeans found it.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFilled with real-world examples, high-impact word substitutions, and exercises that boost new skills, this book builds a foundational toolkit so people can evaluate what is and isn't inclusive language on their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 344\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.86 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 11, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge Print:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43791289843847,"sku":"9781038766830","price":51.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/KVd5cIvncW9781038766830.webp?v=1769734234","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-inclusive-language-field-guide-6-simple-principles-for-avoiding-painful-mistakes-and-communicating-respectfully-16pt-large-print-edition-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
