Working with some stair standards for a project. These are Brit Standards, but the following wording/descriptor has been changed and is no longer acceptable as they say deprecated...

run, catwalk and gangway.

The new words are

going, walkway and walkway.

The departmental terminology manual states that we should no longer use the sexist terms "Police Man" or "Police Woman" but rather "Police Officer."

"Missy" is sexist and demeaning. The preferred terminology is "sweetcheeks."
