![The Megapolytech [oops, not allowed to call it that anymore] CEO has sent a 30-page memo to all staff at the 16 polytechs under its control, regarding the organisation's written and verbal communications. This is not policy, he stated, but purely guidelines [Yeah right.] So, under these "guidelines" the words 'student and 'trainee" are discouraged and should be replaced with 'akonga' or learner. The words 'employee' and 'staff are also discouraged and should be replaced with kaimahi, colleagues, work friends, whanau or te pukenmga people. 'Husband' and wife are out and replaced with spouse or partner. Machine-made, artificial or synthetic replaces manmade. Here's a real doozy: Treaty of Waitangi is gone and now referred to as Te Tiriti o Waitangi. The chief executive in an interview said, and I quote: "There had been no complaints, and comments from the staff have been positive" Ummm, I thought you weren't allowed to say 'staff' anymore. The lunacy continues. Graeme Burnard](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FryIeRQaUAIQ5Qy.jpg?name=orig)
