Episode 284: EwK284 - Age-inclusive language with Marina Gracen-Farrell
I met Marina online in 2024 when I attended one of her LocLunch networking events. Since then I've been following her content and I started noticing some posts about age-inclusive language. This isn't something that I'd thought much about previously, but I wanted to look a bit deeper into the topic - firstly because I think it's important, but also because it's relevant to what I'm trying to do here with the podcast.We all use language. Many of us are working in multiple languages, but every day we have choices about the language that we use, the way we express ourselves, which words make it into our own vocabulary and which ones we choose to avoid. If we are more intentional about the way we speak, we will not only communicate better, but we also have a chance to be more inclusive and contribute to the changes that many of us want to see.I have plans for content on other aspects of inclusivity, but today we're focusing on age-inclusive language.Marina provided a lot of links and further reading. The text on the show notes page is not a transcript, but it gives some context to the links and how they fit into our discussion. We covered other topics too though , so access the episode for the full benefits and find all the extra information here: https://www.englishwithkirsty.com/podcast/episode284
