Ratan Tata once said he wanted 'to be remembered as...' His words have now gone viral

The Danish language officially does not carry a male equivalent for the term “career woman” or a female equivalent term for the male-gendered noun “financier”. 
 
However, after carrying out a major review of all keywords that end with -mand (man), -kvinde (woman) and -person (person), soon the terms finanskvinde (female financier) and karrieremand (career man), along with many new gender-neutral terms will now be officially joining the ranks of the Danish spelling dictionary, the Retskrivningsordbogen. 
 
The Dansk Sprognævn (the Danish Language Council) is carrying out the first review in 12 years in which it has embarked on creating a new edition which is focused on gender equality and making words and descriptions less stereotyped and more gender neutral.

ALSO READ |&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/business-economy/netherlands-suffers-recession-with-weak-consumer-spending-and-exports-626250">Netherlands suffers recession with weak consumer spending and exports</a>

The council is also analysing the use of he, she, his and hers in the example phrases of the dictionary. The new edition, which will be published next year, has added the female version of the word afholdsmand, the word which exists for someone who will abstain from drinking alcohol. The word has a male-gendered suffix and the female version will be termed 'afholdskvinde'. 
 
The Dutch word 'finansmand' for financier also has a female equivalent, which has been termed finanskvinde. Also, the gendered word for trader, handelsmand, was joined by handelskvinde, which has been translated as female trader. 
 
The gendered example phrases which will be chucked out from the dictionary's new edition are pigerne fjantede rundt (the girls fooled around) and han er anklaget for uagtsomt manddrab (he is accused of negligent manslaughter).

<h2>Current dictionary scanned for sexist inclusions and omissions</h2>

Senior researcher at the language council Margrethe Heidemann Andersen was among the three editors who scanned the current dictionary to look for sexist inclusions and omissions. 
 
“We have made lists of all words that end in -man and -woman and then reviewed them one by one to see if we should create a counterpart with the endings -woman, -man or possibly -person,” she said while speaking to the Danish public broadcaster DR.

“We have also looked through the text examples in the dictionary to ensure that they do not give a stereotypical representation of the genders,” she added. 
 
An exact figure of the number of sentences and words which has been analysed or changed has not been provided by Heidemann Andersen, but she stated that there will never be as many words which end with -woman as compared to those which end with -man. 
 
She said that some words ending in -mand do not refer to a person hence it becomes pointless to add a female equivalent of those terms. “When we add a new word, we have to get the argument right, and the frequency matters a lot,” stated Heidemann Andersen. 
 
“There are some people who have grown up with a language who think we are changing too much, and do not think we need a word like ‘female financier’. Identity and gender provoke stronger emotions than changes to grammar rules,” she stated.

Danish dictionary goes under major review to remove gender stereotypes

Oxford English Disctionary while putting the spotlight on New Zealand's first inhabitants, the Māori people, originally called Aotearoa, the land of the long white cloud added 47 new items to further expand its coverage of New Zealand English.

The majority of the words in this most recent edition, however, are taken from Maori, also known as te reo, one of New Zealand's official languages.&nbsp;

In New Zealand, the Maori&nbsp;renaissance&nbsp;started in the 1970s.&nbsp;This is reflected in the significant number of Maori&nbsp;words that have entered the vocabularies of both Maori&nbsp;and Pakeha (non-Maori) speakers of English.&nbsp;

This group of new words includes common Kiwi expressions like after-ball, a noun that denotes an event, particularly a party, that occurs after a ball and was first documented in 1883. Chur (1997), a colloquial exclamation that sounds like "cheers!" and is used to greet people well as they meet or separate ways, or to show gratitude, approval, etc.

Other terms like "Kiwiness" (1967), a noun denoting the quality or fact of being from New Zealand and "flat stick," an adverb applied to actions done as quickly as possible or at top speed, also find a place in the updated version. While still others are rangatahi (1971) means youth or kuia (1855), an elderly woman, especially one who is regarded as a senior member of a family or community.&nbsp;

Many nouns in this most recent OED version pertain to Maori&nbsp;conceptions of community and family as well as Maori&nbsp;beliefs and customs.&nbsp;Other Maori-derived terms in the current update include waka ama, which means an&nbsp;outrigger canoe, koha, which means "a gift",&nbsp;wharekai, which means "the building in a Maori settlement or community in which food is served and eaten; a dining hall."&nbsp;

This fresh batch also contains a number of quotes. One of them&nbsp;is taken&nbsp;from the New Zealand Herald's 20 May 2021 edition, which references a letter that Finance Minister Grant Robertson wrote to Labour MP Kiri Allan which reads, “Kia ora e hoa, we are missing you here today but I can feel your wairua and aroha from here."

It is obvious that English in New Zealand has been significantly and permanently influenced. As the OED continues to track the development of English in this region of the world, it will add even more Maori&nbsp;additions to the vocabulary.

From 'rangatahi' to 'kuia': Oxford English Dictionary adds 47 Maori, New Zealand words

Moonlighting, situationship, goblin mode: Here’s a look at trending words of 2022

The four little words, "do your own research", seem to be hurting the US pandemic response greatly, said a CNN report citing reliable sources on Sunday. &nbsp;

This idea has real consequences as personalities from Nicki Minaj to Sean Hannity continue to promote the idea. &nbsp;

On Twitter last week, Minaj helped raise doubts about COVID-19 vaccines by claiming she would only get the shots once she'd "done enough research." &nbsp;

The idea may seem reasonable and even positive. It is also a favoured talking point echoed by many in the right-wing media. &nbsp;

Renee DiResta, research manager, Stanford Internet Observatory, said, "The notion of doing your own research is not a bad idea in itself, as it's important to maintain a healthy level of skepticism about information being fed to you.”&nbsp;

“But in today's media environment fueled by clicks and engagement, it's all too easy to come across misleading data that confirms biases. Nobody's going to the library and looking up authoritative sources to do their own research," DiResta added.&nbsp;
