I don't know whose bright idea it was to have inclusive writing in French, using full stops like this :
"L'utilisation du point milieu en composant le mot comme suit : racine du mot + suffixe masculin + point milieu + suffixe féminin. On ajoutera un point milieu supplémentaire suivi d'un « s », si l'on veut indiquer le pluriel. Quelques exemples : acteur·rice·s, ingénieur·e·s, ceux·elles, sénior·e·s."
Fortunately The Senat, on 30 October, adopted by a large majority, a proposition to ban the above nonsense.

Gender neutrality gone mad
