A memo came down at the Department of Justice. It tells the staff to drop “preferred pronouns” and other extras from email signatures. The aim is plain talk, the department's mission, and factual words.

The policy ties to a Trump order. It says only male and female categories may be used. It also fixes an August 25 deadline for compliance.

People will notice the change. The work turns on facts, not style. Some will call it a hard line; others will call it necessary.
