Why Workmen's Comp?

I'm picky.

(This isn't news to most readers, I'm sure.)

My skin gets itchy whenever someone refers to Workmen's Compensation.

It's WORKER's Compensation, and has been since 1979.

For almost 30 years, the official term has been gender-neutral, and yet the gendered version is in widespread use.

Scratch scratch scratch. Scratch scratch scratch. Scratch scratch scratch. Scratch scratch scratch. Scratch scratch scratch. Scratch scratch scratch. Scratch scratch scratch. Scratch scratch scratch. Scratch scratch scratch. That is all.
