<p>I need to write something and I don’t want to make any grammatical errors. I am writing about an induction ceremony and want to refer to the “inductees.” Is it redundant to say “new inductees”? </p>
<p>Thanks so much.</p>
<p>Were there other inductees at a previous time? If so, then it makes sense that there would be old inductees and new inductees. Seems right to me. I suppose they could also be the current inductees or this year’s inductees.</p>
<p>Yes, there are inductees every year, and I don’t want to refer to inductees from last week’s ceremony as the “2011 inductees”. I suppose my question is whether one loses status as an “inductee” once admitted to an organization (because then they are members)?</p>
<p>How about “this year’s inductees”?</p>
<p>good ideas. Thanks all.</p>
