Last Laugh
From: AARP Bulletin - 11/2015 - page 50

Jeers to the University of New Hampshire's guide on "bias-free language"
which suggests replacing "seniors" with "people of advanced age", "poor" with
"person who lacks advantages that others have", and "overweight" with "people
of size" - and to avoud using "American", as it may be insensitive to people
from South America. The university president found the guide "offensive to
many people, myself included".
