A cool article about how exacting Fred Rogers was about the language used on his show so that it wouldn't confuse or accidentally mislead kids: https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2018/06/mr-rogers-neighborhood-talking-to-kids/562352/?single_page=true
I especially love the examples given.
@benhamill on that note, Mr. Rogers also edited his shows to keep them current - the example given is if he used 'he' instead of 'they' or assumed the role of a woman... he would GO BACK and edit the show - refilm it! so it didn't offend!!
I love his work. https://kottke.org/18/06/mister-rogers-fixed-old-shows-if-he-felt-they-were-wrong
@lauraritchie That's so awesome! Wow. I was already pretty impressed with that guy, but the more I learn, the more impressed I am.
