I'm just curious about this, and thought maybe someone here might know. I work in textbook publishing. I remember back in the day we needed to make sure not to say "Create," at least for anything sold in Texas, because "only G-d can create." Now I'm using some materials from another company and I see "I'm moving with my dads." Now they could have written "parents" and it would have included 2 dads. But they davka said "dads" to be "inclusive." So don't the religious people who don't want "Create" also have something against this?

I don't live in Texas, and I do not work in publishing, but I have never heard that you cannot use the word "create" except in the context of HaShem creating something.

Well that's why I remember it, it's so odd. If they feel so strongly about that though, to the point of not just accepting "Create a graph," how do they deal with this? Shouldn't they be creating an uproar?

That’s probably because you are Jewish and not fundamentalist Christian

They probably won’t create an uproar because they don’t believe in creating anything

I think that’s a valid question. Is it possible it hasn’t been brought to their attention?

I never heard this either. I use create all the time.
