APStylebook: We now say not to use the archaic and sexist term "mistress" for a woman in a long-term sexual relationship with, and financially supported by, a man who is married to someone else.

It looks like we disagree, but life is like that. I hope you have a fantastic month, year, and decade.

Some people will slavishly follow APStylebook's proclamation--or any kind of groupthink. If you want your collage paper to have a grade above zero you must use the AP format.
I have been warning about this for over a decade. Once you control how people write you control how they think. This is why so many kids from conservative families come back from collage liberal.
