DF Assures me that both "Headmaster" and "Headmistress" have been sent down. We shall have to add the term "head teacher," with a resigned sigh, to the list of NeverUse.

Now my next question is, are there any periodic publications that deliberately decline to use the Newspeak terms?

Are there any defiant editors?

If anyone knows, please let me in on it at earliest convenience, as I shall be seeking freelancing opportunities and fear that the ruddy tone of my upper vertebrae area will tend preclude employment in the established press.

The Daily Mail sounds promising, but I'd like to do features for magazines.

Maybe This England.

Anything else?
