The Oxford English Dictionary has introduced gender-neutral words to help people better discuss sensitive topics.

The new inclusions include ‘hir’ and zir’ as alternative pronouns to him, his or her, ‘peoplekind’ rather than mankind, and ‘Latin@’ as a gender-neutral term for someone of either sex from Latin America.

Gender neutral terms have been added to the Oxford English Dictionary,  in an attempt they say is‘ to grapple’ with the sensitive topics. The gender neutral terms added to the Oxford English Dictionary include ‘hir’ and zir’ as alternative pronouns to him, his or her, ‘peoplekind’ rather than mankind, and ‘Latin@’ as a gender-neutral term for someone of either sex from Latin America.

 It was further gathered that the verb ‘misgender’ could apply to anyone, who unwittingly or intentionally uses a pronoun that is not preferred by the person. Among the 650 updates were less politically-correct dog cross-breed terms, including puggle (a cross between a pug and a beagle) and a dorgi (a dachshund/corgi mix).
