Colonial history is or should be outdated. NZ jurisprudence is based on Westminster/ British law but has moved on to plain language and nongendered terms in most instances, and even recently started honouring treaty with indigenous people Māori on observance of law. Isn't it time for UK authorities to modernize too?

@Kay@mastodon.nz @weaniejeanie53@mas.to Coulda, woulda, shoulda. It is a *fact* that people talk this way; you don't get to decide how the world works; and it would behove you to bear in mind that it won't change just because you choose to take arbitrary, unnecessary offence at an innocent and entirely guileless turn of phrase.
