English Learning for Curious Minds by LeonardoEnglish

As time goes by, language continues to evolve.

In this episode, we explore the question of evolving English, and the specific question of how we refer to people without a permanent and stable place to live, as this example highlights the politicisation of language.

• Language's purpose: communicate information between people
• Language changes over time, often for political reasons
• Referring to people without a permanent home
• Difference between "house" and "home"
• "Homeless" as the most commonly used term
• Push to replace "homeless" with "houseless" or "unhoused"
• Critics argue "homeless" implies streets are a legitimate home
• Question of whether it matters to homeless individuals
• Homelessness is a complex issue
