American, grandfather, brave and master: Words Stanford University includes in its index of 'harmful language' because they are 'ableist, sexist or racist'

史丹福大學剛剛發表了一份「有害文字」列表,說這些被列名的字眼都是有害的,建議大家今後不要再使用。
這個清單不看還好,一看簡直讓人傻眼,說American不能講,因為這個代表南北美洲的人,所以提到『美國人』要用US citizen;『一石二鳥』Killing 2 birds with one stone不能講,說是『提倡虐待動物』;walk in不能講,因為這是『歧視殘障人士』,所以要改為drop in.......這種政確簡直沒完沒了.....


以後考TOEFL/GRE這類應該很難.....不注意就踩雷....我只能祝福後面的學子
