Are You Upsetting People with Your English? | Megan Nicholls

Level Up English Podcast - Episode 381 Meg (Mega Language Coach) joins me for a second episode and this time we talk about inclusive language. https://megalanguagecoach.com/ Inclusive language is a way of speaking that includes other people and doesn't leave people out based on their ability, gender, personality, or anything else. It's a small shift you can make in your language to sound nicer. We talk about whether you can say "guys" when talking to girls, the difference between he, she and 'they', and also why people don't often say "police man" anymore. In the second half of the episode, I challenge Meg to a game to fill in the blanks in common expressions, and I invite you to join in as well.
