    But your husband is a policeman. I think what Pocahontas meant was that when we talk about a police officer in general we tend to say 'policeman' when in fact they may actually be a 'policewoman'. So they should be referred to as a 'policeperson' unless talking about a specific gender as that term is more correct and less presumptuous.

    Nope, should be police officer. Police person is utterly ridiculous. And we still make gingerbread men at school. As that is what the story is about.

    Agree that it should be police officer and that police person is a bit silly.

    Well yes.

    I don't know who decides to take offence to these kind of things. It is absurd.

    You'll be telling me you're allowed to sing Christmas Carols next ?
