Ever thought about teaching kids what they went to study there? Gendered language my ass. Grandfather and grandmother both exists. You can use either depending on the context.

I feel like you must be intentionally missing the point. This is not teaching material. It doesn't distract from the content of courses. It's not related at all to student activities or curriculum. It's a list of words that the IT department wanted to have an internal discussion about concerning content on the school's website. Something along the lines of "Do you guys think we're okay to use the word 'damn' on the school bookstore's website?"

Also, I've never heard someone say they've been "grandmothered" into an outdated pricing plan. And I'm not sure in which context you think you would choose one over the other. But that's beside the point.

I'm not even arguing, I'm trying to clarify what we're even talking about in the first place and you're reading past me and finding intent where there is none
