'Google is making a push for "inclusive language" with a new writing feature that is designed to guide users away from words it considers politically incorrect.

Introduced this month, Google Docs users will encounter a pop-up warning if they type in words or phrases deemed noninclusive, such as "landlord," "mankind," "policeman," or "housewife," the New York Post reports.

Users will be informed that their word selections "may not be inclusive to all readers" and will be directed to more inclusive suggestions.'
