Climate change, for example, has for months presented a linguistic minefield; multiple references to it have been purged repeatedly at the Environmental Protection Agency and the Interior Department. In late summer, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention issued a document to employees and contractors bearing a column of words and phrases to be avoided, alongside a column of acceptable alternatives. The one-page "language guidance" document recommends using "all youth" instead of "underserved youth," referring to crime as a "public issue/public concern" rather than a "public health issue/public health concern," and describing young people who commit crimes as "offenders" rather than "system-involved or justice-involved youths," according to a copy of the document obtained by the Washington Post. The document also says to avoid "substance abuse disorder" in favor of "substance abuse issue." That runs counter to attempts by experts to raise awareness that substance abuse is a disease.
