The American Hyphen Society is a community-based, not-for-profit,
grass-roots consciousness-raising/education-research alliance that seeks to
help effectuate the across-the-board self-empowerment of wide-ranging
culture-, nationality-, ethnicity-, creed-, gender-, and sexual-orientation
defined identity groups by excising all multiculturally-less-than-sensitive
terminology from the English language, and replacing it with
counter-hegemonic, cruelty-, gender-, bias-, and, if necessary, content-free
speech. The society’s motto is, “It became necessary to destroy the language
in order to save it”. Its headquarters are in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.
(West Coast regional offices are in Walla-Walla, Washington.)
