Royal Canadian Navy to replace 'seaman' in rank titles with gender-neutral term.

Well at least we can say good by to the term discharged seaman but I suspect that will just peter out.

*'s mean that when speaking the term out you are supposed to make a noticable interruption in your talking, so to express your full recognition and compliance with all this BS.

And no, I fear that is no joke. At least not in the EU. In many institutions you must expect sanctions and disciplinary measures now if you violate official new talk language rules in writing, but also in talking.

I told you all ten years ago or so that this thought-policing is coming for real. Many of you laughed at me back then. I hear nobody laughing anymore nowadays.

Sailor is a better replacement then "seawoman" or something like that.

I agree.
Headlines that say
"Captain goes crazy and shoots Seaman!"
Just ain't PC!

In the US military, the Army has soldiers, The Navy has sailors and the Air Force as Airmen

The Space Force has...... Space Professionals

Yeah, we got the official memo.
