Our society is beset by an overabundance of guns, people who text
while driving, an underfunded mental-health system and too many
education reformers bent on making every kid an engineer.
Big issues, those. But not as important to some as making our language more gender-neutral [“State law moves toward gender-neutral language,” NWMonday, Feb. 4].
No one can quarrel with “police officers” instead of “policemen,”
since there are now many women on the force. Ditto “firefighters,”
instead of “firemen.”
