A book about language in general, biased language in particular. But PC (politically correct) is not the term; PC (politeness and courtesy) is! A text taken from notes for the author's training program.

Every day we work and play with people who are not US. This handbook offers ways to interact with Them without judgment, derision, or conflict. Used by journalists, students, business executives, writers, court and government workers, and teachers, Just Words aims to eliminate from language the isms that pull people apart.

 

Just Words includes:

•    Ways to avoid sexism, racism, ageism,

      classism, and nationalism in language

•    Reasons to pay attention to ism language

•    How to recognize and eliminate

      discriminatory language habits

•    Ways to circumvent sexist writing

•    PLUS a glossary of more than 1,000

      alternative terms.

 

Written with wit and style, this book is considered the standard reference on inclusive language. It's glossry of more than 1,000 alternative terms is a reference gem!



Excerpt

Just Words emphasizes the need to accept the ways we are different, focus on the ways we are alike, and concentrate on ways to respect individuality — all through words. Just Words offers suggestions to express ourselves to stay within the law and to avoid hurting others. This book deals as much with attitude behind words as it does with the words themselves. The trick is to accept diversity rather than disengage from it.
Just Words is about the Us and Them Thing, based on the natural inclination of people to embrace Us and be wary of Them.
