What’s in a name?
Enough to lead people to be unintentionally dismissive and disrespectful of someone by misgendering them, according to the University of Pittsburgh.
But now, Pitt has published a gender-inclusive language guide that includes a set of “non-sexist language guidelines and resources” to help students and faculty avoid “unintentionally creating a sexist and homophobic classroom environment.”
In the guide, “yinz” is a suggested substitute for “ladies and gentlemen.”
The guidelines include advice such as “do not limit yourself to male examples or heterosexual examples. Teachers can and should honor the breadth of experience and potential in students’ lives by discussing women, gender nonconforming and LGBT-identified people. For example, avoid giving examples that assume that all doctors are men.”

They say that it's similar to the Southern "y'all" ... but we've got "y'all" and "all y'all". Can Pitt tell the difference?
That’s the only way to stop this insanity, pull it out by the roots!
Let’s Go Yinz.
Terence McKenna had a similar quote:
“Culture is more and more consciously becoming a project carried out in the domain of language by, for instance, propaganda both governmental and commercial.”

I”m sitting here in my rocking chair wondering when the lawsuits for psychological abuse going to start flying? I”m amazed this just keeps going and going and going as the sexually confused confuse everyone around them with word games meant to destabalize logical thought,
and nobody has stood in the middle of the street and said,
I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore
I keep saying, if I was 40 years younger....but I’m not and it’s up to those who are 40 years younger to DO SOMETHING
A common usage is “youns “ in that area generally among the poorly educated
Zip up. Yer yinz is showing.
