NO MORE CHIEFS (OR CHEFS?): Duluth (Minnesota, natch) language police chop the word from their vocabulary. In order to have "more inclusive leadership, and less language that is rooted in hurt and offensive and intentional marginalization.”

Except 'chief' is rooted in French and Latin....

I found this part funny: "You are so right. Not only that, but chef has the same Latin root (and Chef is also the noun for chief in German, not just French). If it's so doggone problematic, what are we going to call the cooky foody makey people?"

Well, 'cooky foody makey people', perhaps. My compliments to the chef cooky foody makey person....
