I don't whether it mentions the term "young lady" as an example of elderspeak, but that's something that many women who are, obviously, not "young ladies" find very patronizing. What makes it worse is that the people who use such language seem to feel that they're being really nice, which makes a not-so-young-lady uncertain whether she should object or just let it go. Thanks again for this making this document available. I’ve been looking for something like this style guide, and it seems quite thorough and helpful, based on my skimming it quickly.
