The University of Washington information technology department released an "inclusive language guide" that lists a number of "problematic words" that are "racist," "sexist," "ageist," or "homophobic,"
According to the guide, words such as "grandfather," "housekeeping," "minority," "ninja," and "lame" are considered "problematic words."
A Lake Superior State University in Michigan has also compiled a list of banished words to "uphold, protect, and support excellence in language".
Banned phrases include, "wait, what?", "no worries", "at the end of the day", "asking for a friend" and "you're on mute."

The first time I noticed this was back maybe as far as the 90's. The mainstream started referring to female actresses simply as "actors". It struck me, "Why would language evolve to be less precise?" I had no idea anyone was engineering it. Well, engineering us.
You can see They still haven't broken cover on this particular point: the ulti-woke Oscars still refers to "Best Actress". What's wrong with "Best Unit Identifying as Female/Non-Binary"? The Academy must still be run by Republicans.
All the gender pandering turns people off. Equality is no one caring.
