MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIFORNIA — Google announced it will be changing the name of "Gmail" to "Gpost" in an effort to fight sexism and biased language. <br /><br />Google said it was concerned with the overall environment of stereotypes and biased language within the tech community and the U.S. at large. <br /><br />In a push towards equality, Google felt the name 'Gmail' was inherently offensive to some because it's a homonym of the word 'male', according to TechCrunch. <br /><br />After an internal survey of employees, Googlers felt 'Gpost' would be less offensive, especially for women. <br /><br />The diversity and inclusion department decided to roll out the name change internally at first. <br />All Gmail users will get the new Gpost update over the next few weeks. Those experiencing trouble logging in should contact Google immediately.
