Asked on February 27, 2021 in Word choice.
Hmmm.. A note on the neutrality of
“manning”: “manning” (or at least has been) gender neutral.. This is why women are able to work at home. Only in recent history has “man” given gendered meaning I guess. Before, “wer” was a prefix that meant male (as used in the song “worewolfen”), and “wif” meant female (which eventually led to the word “woman” from “wifman”). What is gender-neutral in man’s usage? ” Therefore, “manning” is a gender neutral term.
If you still want alternative, working could work. However, if you still want an alternative, “tending” would work. Where is the “manning the help desk”? For example, “manning the help desk” vs. job description. If someone is typing something on the help desk and they are happy no problem, have they found out that they aren’t at all “tending the help desk” or “manning the register” at a help desk? “working the register.. “Boas
in the end that you don’t have to take too long for the next time it is so un-happy”
