2. TIPS FOR USING INCLUSIVE LANGUAGE
Inclusive language refrains from using stereotypes
and language that might make people feel excluded.
Such language includes sexist language and language
that insensitively describes people with disabilities,
illnesses, and other conditions.
5 suggestions for using inclusive language

3. 1. Use nouns and pronouns that are gender-neutral
Not: businessman, workman, mailman, salesman
But: businessperson, manager, or executive,
worker, mail carrier, sales person.
Not: man made, man hours, man-sized job
But: synthetic, working hours, large job

4. 2. Use plural pronouns or "he or she" instead of gender-linked
pronouns when referring to people.

premium products and appreciates a stylish design.

premium products and appreciate a stylish design.
Not: Before the owner of a new business files the first year's tax
returns, he might be wise to seek advice from a certified public
accountant.

the trade fair.
