For example, the Post says that students will no longer be expected to know difficult, lesser-used vocabulary wordsI got "aviatrix" wrong on the GRE, on the basis of "too obvious". Seems like a regular word to me now ... don't know why I never learned it before my senior year of college.
But you won't catch me campaigning to eliminate "aviatrix" from the GRE!

But you won't catch me campaigning to eliminate "aviatrix" from the GRE! That's because you're a racist.
