Users typing 'landlord' will see warning it 'may not be inclusive to all readers'

Gender-specific terms like 'policemen' should be replaced by 'police officers' 

Nudging users towards woke language is being seen by critics as a step too far 

Google has launched an 'inclusive language' function designed to avoid the use of politically incorrect words.

Users typing 'landlord' will see a warning that it 'may not be inclusive to all readers' with the suggestion they should try 'property owner' or 'proprietor' instead.

The word 'humankind' is a suggested alternative to what the online giant apparently sees as the controversial term 'mankind'.
