League Watchdogs LanguageLona Wyatt wrote a letter to the editor of the City Council newsletter pointing out the inconsistencies in his language. Rather than his juggling chairman, chairwoman, chairperson, or Councilman, Councilwoman, Councilmember (all these terms appeared in the last newsletter) Lona suggested uniformity of nonsexist terms: Councilmember, and Chair. The answer from the Office of Council Services which publishes the newsletter says that the policy has been to let individual writers use their own terms. Some see no sexual overtones in terms and prefer to use them. Well, anyway, according to Deputy Director David Lum, they will "take the matter under advisement."
