13. In health physics, in English-speaking countries, we once spoke of "parent", "daughter", "granddaughter", and so on, to describe members of a decay series. In the late 1900s, considerations regarding political correctness suggested use of the genderneutral "parent" and "progeny". This is clumsy, and does not lend itself to distinguishing between second and third and subsequent generations, but to avoid endless lawsuits and other forms of domestic terrorism, we use the gender-neutral terms here. Interestingly, in Spanish and Portuguese speaking societies, the usage was "parent" and "son", which have similarly been objected to as being sexist.

73. The phrase "it can be shown" indicates either that the speaker doesn't know how, or doesn't want to take the time to show how, a particular relevant result is derived. This is actually a pretty easy derivation to show, but going through the steps is not thought to be particularly helpful to the student in this context.
