As time goes by, language continues to evolve.
In this episode, we explore the question of evolving English, and the specific question of how we refer to people without a permanent and stable place to live, as this example highlights the politicisation of language.

Referring to people without a permanent home
Difference between "house" and "home"
"Homeless" as the most commonly used term
Push to replace "homeless" with "houseless" or "unhoused"
Critics argue "homeless" implies streets are a legitimate home
Question of whether it matters to homeless individuals
Homelessness is a complex issue
