Words that negatively describe women and the mentally ill have unfortunately developed into mainstream culture and language, thus creating a world in which people are uncomfortable. Speakers…

cognizant of speaking differently to their grandmother than to school friends (the “audience”); however, Deveraux (2015) points out that there may be times (the “situation”) where the environment, or context, is the deciding or even overriding factor (p. 110).
