As usual, this is just ragebait bollocks. If you go to the source, you will find that they state "person in water" is a more inclusive term, but:

"currently, the term 'man overboard' still exists within electronic equipment, software and official documents produced by governing bodies. The important point is to be able to raise an alarm where a person has fallen overboard to initiate the emergency procedures. Until this is able to change, it would be recommended to continue to use the term 'man overboard' when following safety procedures"

The guide itself was created by the RYA in response to a high volume of requests for one from their affiliated clubs and recognised training centres.

So whatever that source is, it's disingenuous.

I am so glad organizations are spending time on such worthwhile inclusive things. Utterly ridiculous. Sort the bloody important things out FFS.

Then everyone leans over the side to help, only to find your "something in the water" call referred to Jaws. 

Lots of icey stares from the survivors after that.

I see my stalker thinks this sort of thing is far more important than tackling knife crime, rape or murder. Cannot say as I am surprised by that as he is clearly all for those things.

Accusing anyone of that proves to all that you are a cunt .

Only someone without an ounce of intelligence would post that

You have said similar and worse to me many times. So suck it up snowflake. Care to explain why you would post a lol emoji on what I said then?
