The Associated Press regrets to inform you that the Little Sisters of the Poor are canceled. Martin Luther King is also done. And Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount is obviously offensive.
Specifically, the Associated Press believes that nominalized adjectives are harmful and should be avoided. Their style guide — which used to function as something of an industry standard-setter for word choice and style but which recently has taken clear sides in the culture wars — tweeted a risible new rule last week.The Associated Press followed this with an embarrassing apology and also reasserted their opposition to nominalized adjectives.
Writing French people, French citizens, etc., is good. But"the" terms for any people can sound dehumanizing and imply a monolith rather than diverse individuals. For instance, the Little Sisters of the Poor use “the poor” in their name to mean “the poor people.” This is not an odd usage. Here’s a speech by Cesar Chavez that uses “the poor” seven times, including twice in one key sentence: “Since the Church is to be servant to the poor, it is our fault if that wealth is not channeled to help the poor in our world.”And, of course, Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount includes the famous Beatitudes, half of which include the dreaded nominalized adjectives:Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
