                <div>I want to honor the request from some Omni
                  community members that we replace the word
                  bottom-liner. </div>
                <div><br>
                </div>
                <div>Can we collect a list of alternatives and mutually
                  agree to attempt to replace this phrase / to lovingly
                  and compassionately correct one another if and when we
                  slip up?</div>
                <div><br>

                <div>As little as it may seem, this will require a
                  cultural shift for a lot of us that I'm sure we're all
                  willing to make, but it'll likely take a bit of time
                  before it collectively takes root.</div>
                <div><br>

                <div>It would be great if those who take particular
                  issue with this phrase could put forth their
                  suggestions.</div>
