Cross-reference

Equity Language Commons

Every progressive equity-language style guide says something a little different. This commons puts them next to each other: per term, by year, with the source's own words, so you can see where they agree, where they disagree, and what's shifted since 2013.

How to read an entry

  1. Each term page shows every source organization's ruling: quote, year, page reference, and a position badge (use / use-with-care / non-preferred / avoid / contested / evolving).
  2. Sources are sorted chronologically so you can see how the term has moved over time.
  3. Synthesis paragraphs identify the cross-source pattern, where guides agree, where they diverge, and what's shifting.
  4. Every quote is under 50 words (fair-use safety margin). Every quote cites org, year, and source URL or archive reference.
