#1,  NOW GRANDFATHER, HOUSEKEEPING & SPIRIT ANIMAL ARE "PROBLEMATIC WORDS"---A University of Washington language guide is calling everyday words used by Americans “problematic.”

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.”
