Language Matters: Minutes, Polymonogamy, and...

RantWoman is in the throes of her monthly call to fuss about matters in minutes. RantWoman is seasoning how much of the Truth to insist on with respect to a certain melodrama but for the time being has plenty to do with a simple language exercise.

First, the correction needed in a minute about a concern:

Hold Friends S and her wife S in the Light as they undo the
legal recognitionof their marriage in one jurisdiction and redo
everything as they move to a new community in Scotland

RantWoman specifically referred to this blog post:

Both the recording clerk's first draft and the clerk in a phone conversation with RantWoman missed things RantWoman specifically said; RantWoman supplied the blog post she specifically mentioned and stands by her suggested wording.

RantWoman was amused at NPYM Annual Session when another Friend used the hips trendy term "polymonogamy" to describe exactly this sort of same-gender couples marrying each other over and over in different jurisdictions.


While we are on the subject of language specifically meant to make one think, this item from RantWoman's other summer travel activity:
