As part of DiversityInc’s mission to bring clarity and education to the business case for diversity, we’ve created this style guide.
Acceptable words and phrases can become obsolete and even offensive tomorrow. The opposite also can be true, breathing new life into formerly forbidden words and phrases.
Style guides provide guidance on the use of words and phrases that do not yet have generally accepted principles for usage?and this one is no exception. However, this guide also gives readers directions on which words and phrases to use and when to use them. It also lets readers know which words and phrases should be avoided.
Answers to grammatical questions, such as when to use a comma, are not found here. Other guides cover those concerns. This guide focuses only on language related to diversity.
