This or That: Words Edition 😄 I’ve been choo This or That: Words Edition 😄

I’ve been choosing my 50 best words for a while now. But I have too many. 

Help me ditch some by commenting your faves.

Please thanks ☺️
Yay for TDOV! Aside from manifesting the downfall Yay for TDOV!

Aside from manifesting the downfall of inhumane leaders who legislate against minorities, I’m marking Transgender Day of Visibility with a quick reminder about pronouns. 

😬 “But ‘they’ isn’t a pronoun because it’s plural.” 

Wrong!

It might often be plural but we often use it singularly too. 

We hear someone in a crowd drop a drink and we say “they’re pissed already.”

We swear at an Audi but can’t see who they are – “they’re a diabolical driver.” 

😠 “But ‘they’ sounds weird.” 

Language is always evolving! 

And if you’re not used to using ‘they’ as a singular pronoun, all it takes is a bit of practice 🙂
Stationery or stationary? Here’s how I remembe Stationery or stationary? 

Here’s how I remember which one’s which:

✏️ The word stationery – as in pencils etc – has an ‘e’, which stands for needing ‘every bit of stationery’. I keep mine in a treasure chest, of course. 

😴 The word stationary – as in not moving – has an ‘a’, which stands for ‘ain’t going anywhere’. Like me when I’m half asleep at my desk.

Don’t fret about sounding formal or professional enough when you write.

Get some of your glorious self into your brand, your business, your book, whatever brilliance you bring to the world. 

🤭 Quirky words you like to say? 
🙃 Local phrases used in a fresh way? 
🤗 Behind the scenes in your world?
😜 Something daft in your head?

Your posts, website, emails, packaging – they’re all chances for people to relate to the human behind the brand. To invite people into your community. 

Not just to buy something once, but to connect and follow your journey. 

So sod it, #normalgetsyounowhere ☺️
Inclusive greetings for inclusive people (and non- Inclusive greetings for inclusive people (and non-inclusive)

Will I change my EDI based on the opinions of criminals? Nah. Here’s the @content_for_humans policy 😄

When you’re messaging or talking to inclusive people, try these greetings:

☺️ Hey team
☺️ Hi everyone 
☺️ Morning folks
☺️ How are we all?
☺️ Beth! Hugh! Hello!

If they’re non-inclusive people, I guess still greet them nicely? And hope they come round to a more inclusive way of thinking? 

OR:

🤨 Hi GUYS
🤨 Oh it’s you
🤨 Dear uninclusive human
🤨 How’s the binary? Boring?
🤨 Goodbye 

What's your favourite inclusive greeting?
