Question
which of these is not a possible reason that the invented gender-neutral terms found in the last full paragraph, starting with \other uses of ...\, of they have not become commonly used in english?
the people who wish these to become standard usage are not in sufficient numbers to make an impact on the population as a whole.
the words arent seen in newspapers or magazines or even on the internet much.
the words are unpronounceable.
the bisexual, homosexual, lesbian, and trans-gender people do not approve of them.
the words are considered too strange since probably only those who invented them and a few others use them actively.
To determine the answer, we analyze each option:
- Option A: A small group advocating for terms can limit adoption.
- Option B: Low media presence reduces exposure, hindering usage.
- Option C: Unpronounceable words are less likely to be adopted.
- Option D: There's no indication that LGBTQ+ people universally disapprove; gender - neutral terms are often advocated for by or to be inclusive of this community, so this is an unlikely reason.
- Option E: Unfamiliarity/strangeness from limited use can stop adoption.
