Talk:Chair (officer)/Archive 6

Fake words
"Chairperson" and "chairwoman" are fake words invented as some sort of political correctness nonsense. The only proper word for this occupation is chairman, which can be used for someone of either gender. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Satyrkobe (talk • contribs) 18:19, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
 * This was discussed at great length recently and a consensus was reached: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Chairperson/Archive_4 WanderingWanda (talk) 10:10, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I regret clicking that link, both sides were so biased. – Azpineapple (talk) 02:07, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I agree, but some editors here think that their "consensus" of 4 editors with the same political ideology are something great. It's not. I absolutely agree that 'Chairperson' isn't a word at all. The biasedness cited above is only one of the thousands of issues in that situation (The forming of the 'consensus'). Sawyersx (talk) 13:09, 16 November 2021 (UTC)


 * By researching on Google i found some interesting facts:

Chairman: "About 433,000,000 results", Chairperson: "About 44,900,000 results". That says a lot, they are trying to create a new normal here, this is not about an encyclopedia anymore, just political activism. Sawyersx (talk) 19:30, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Sawyersx, do you really think quantity is more important than quality here?? Your information implies quantity is more important. Georgia guy (talk) 13:16, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Georgia guy, You're saying that these are mutually exclusive terms here, not me. It's about quantity and "quality" united. It's interesting how you try to monopolize the concept of quality in order to imply you are right. This is about linguistics, people use the term chairman, period. This concept based on your own visions about quality being enough to make Wikipedia ignore the term used by English-speaking people is new for me. Sawyersx (talk) 13:26, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree. Too much activism in Wikipedia work. Wrong forum for that. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 09:07, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
