I like that Ante sounds like Anti, but still, I'm all for using the more common language. I'd like to see a redirect from the common misspelling "Prenuptual," too, though.
(A) 150 Captive penguins [May Subd Geog] [sp2009008681]

150 Deforestation [May Subd Geog] [sp 85036463]
* 450 UF Conversion, Forest
* 450 UF Forest conversion
* 450 UF Forest land conversion
This seems like a nice example of just saying no to corporate doublespeak. Hear this Congress, it's not Forest conversion, thank you very much, it's Deforestation!
(C) 150 Employment practices liability insurance [May Subd Geog] [sp2009008690]
680 Here are entered works on insurance that provides coverage for claims arising from an insured's injury causing employment practice, including discrimination, defamation, sexual harassment, etc. Works on the insurance of an employer's liability for compensation to his employees in case of accident are entered under Employers' liability insurance.
450 UF EPL insurance
450 UF EPLI (Insurance)
550 BT Insurance
550 RT Employers' liability insurance
681 Note under Employers' liability insurance
His employees? Seriously? Are all bosses men? I'll certainly grant that sexual harassers are more likely to be men, but I still think that gender neutral language would be 1,000 times more appropriate here. In fact, I'd call this discrimination. I wonder if LC has catalog users' liability insurance?
150 Horsemen and horsewomen [May Subd Geog] [sp 85062154]
* 450 UF Equestrians
* 450 UF Women equestrians
I guess Horsepeople is a whole 'nother thing?

Can we also have Non-monogamous relationships in zines, please?
A <zines AND ("non-monogam?" OR nonmonogam? OR polyamor?)> search in our catalog yields thirteen results, including
Non monogamy : doin' it and doin' it and doin' it well?
With open hands: A handbook on open relationships
Fucktooth
Emergency
and the other nine

450 UF Abortion trauma
450 UF PAS (Post abortion syndrome)
450 UF Postabortion syndrome
550 BT Abortion—Psychological aspects
550 BT Syndromes
What is this?!? Proposed by a University of South Africa, the warrant is the 1995 work Post-abortion syndrome, which includes Post-traumatic stress disorder as one of its other descriptors. Per Google Scholar it's been cited like three times, one the citers being Christian bioethics: a guide for the perplexed. I bet they're perplexed! My understanding is that the most common post-abortion emotion is relief!
(A) 150 Theatrical wigs [May Subd Geog] [sp2009008797]
053 PN2069
550 BT Wigs
Really? This is new?
150 Trust receipts [May Subd Geog] [sp 85138267]
* 550 BT Sales, Conditional CANCEL
Seems kind of paradoxical, doesn't it, the phrase "Trust receipts"?
150 Wetland mitigation banking [May Subd Geog] [sp 96000880]
* 450 UF Wetland banking
* 450 UF WMB (Wetland mitigation banking)
From a 1996 book called Wetland mitigation banking, that defines the phrase "mitigation banking allows public agencies and private landowners to replace damaged or destroyed wetlands & habitats by funding restoration or creation of like features elsewhere." I take back my comment under Deforestation!
150 Women in the theater [May Subd Geog] [sp 85147627]
