Wokery gone mad
The Royal Yacht Association wants the following changed:-
Man Overboard = Person Overboad
Yachtsman = Yacht Person.
Winchman = Winchperson
No doubt there will be many more

No more 'Man of the match ' now 'Player '. We have to be gender neutral now.That striker who netted the winner may not be quite what you think.

Re: Wokery gone mad
Yes we have a minister for getting rid of wokery.
The one and only Shyster McVey. I met her once when she was touting for the seat in Wirral in 2005. She lost to the sitting MP Stephen Hesford. She won the seat in 2010, she lost in 2015 to the now sitting MP Margaret Greenwood.
Once she won is 2010 she was rarely seen back in Wirral, A blond just like Nadine Dorries , two scousers ashamed of were they came from.

#1 How about some over masculine person wanting Woman changed to Heman. JS
The one change in the International Code of Signals that I remember was the A flag changing from “ I am undergoing speed trials “ to “ Keep clear of me I have Divers down”.
I spent 4 years on a saturation diving ship, so had cause to remember. JS.
