Choice of words is an important thing for an inclusive culture at work and home.
- Businessperson/Business owner instead of Businessman
- Chairperson instead of Chairman
- Homemaker instead of Housewife
- Salesperson instead of Salesman
In most words, replace "man" with "person", and you're good. In other places, think a little more.
Surely some will say man refers to a homosapien - mankind, for instance. But I don't see it this way.
Even mankind is a wrong choice of word. It should always be humanity instead.
