1 year ago“Inclusive” writing involves writing both masculine and feminine forms of words, separated by dots – for example “francais.e.s”.
The proposed law being debated by the Senate later Monday would ban such phrasing in education and all official texts, from work contracts to court documents to instruction manuals.
Macron appeared supportive, saying: “In this language, the neutral form is provided by the masculine. We don’t need to add dots in the middle of words to make it better understood.”
That’s nearly a Texas area of forest.
