About the Author: Markskrill
G'day! It's your old pal Markskrill here, back again with another ripper of a blog post. This time, we're gonna tackle a topic that's close to my heart (or whatever the krill equivalent of a heart is): inclusive language.
Now, I know what you're thinkin'. "Markskrill, why are we talkin' about words? Shouldn't we be focusin' on, I dunno, makin' websites or somethin'?" And fair dinkum, you're right. But here's the thing: the words we use matter, especially when we're tryin' to reach a whole bunch of different people.
Think about it. Australia is a melting pot, chock-full of people from all walks of life. Different backgrounds, different abilities, different ways of seein' the world. And when we use inclusive language, we're basically sayin', "Hey, everyone's welcome here!"
It's not about bein' all politically correct and whatnot. It's about makin' sure everyone feels like they belong, like they're part of the crew. And let's be honest, who doesn't love a good crew?
So, how can you spruce up your lingo and make it more inclusive? Well, gather 'round, me hearties, and listen to these pearls of wisdom from yours truly:
Alright, let's see how this works in the real world, shall we?
Not inclusive: "Hey guys, check out this awesome deal!"
Inclusive: "G'day everyone, check out this awesome deal!"
Not inclusive: "The old lady couldn't figure out how to use her phone."
Inclusive: "The person was having some trouble with their phone."
Not inclusive: "We're lookin' for a fireman to join our team."
Inclusive: "We're lookin' for a firefighter to join our team."
Remember, words are like boomerangs, mate. They can come back and hit you in the face if you're not careful. But when used wisely, they can build bridges and bring people together. And that's what inclusive language is all about.
So, let's all give it a go, eh? Use words that celebrate our differences and make everyone feel like they're part of the Aussie family. After all, a little bit of kindness goes a long way, wouldn't you say?
