My introduction to the journalist, ca. 6th grade:
I remember that the German word for nurse was “krankenschwester,” which was dated even back then (late '80s). I gather that’s finally been updated (pflege?).
I actually used something similar when I had to deal with an airline, though to be fair it was way, way back in 2018.
I use “peoples.”
Occasionally (depending on who’s gathered) I’ll walk into work with “Greetings, Earthlin-- er, uh, fellow humans!”
