MODERATORS
No single word in the English vocabulary grates against me more than when I hear owners of residential property refer to it as "units".
It's so dehumanizing. Rather, it's monetizing humanity.
Indeed. This euphemism triggers easily.
You can't spell humanity without unit after all.
You might want to inspect those words again
Sure if you pick non-adjacent letters, but unit is not in humanity adjacently
Reminds me of "human resources". My experiences with HR have also been largely negative. They're there to protect and make sure the humans are a resource to the company, not for the humans and humanity.
