Usage notes
Although the terms developed country and developing country remain in wide use as of 2022, some style guides (for example, the AMA Manual of Style in its 11th edition) deprecate the use of these terms because they presuppose or imply that either economic development or human development is a binary concept of haves and have-nots rather than the reality that it is a never-ending/always-changing spectrum of ongoing effort and degrees of attainment; for example, none of the G7 countries is "finished" being developed socioeconomically (as the participial adjective developed implies) or is "better" than "the rest of the world", and many of the countries that some people assert as being developing (or, still more insultingly, third-world) are not destitute, lesser, lagging, primitive, savage, pathetic, or pitiable, as the participial adjective developing sometimes implies and as the adjective third-world almost always implies when not clearly/unmistakably being used in its historical sense (see also Third World § Usage notes). As for what labels to put on countries and peoples, regarding either economic development or human development: scholars in socioeconomics-related disciplines today often use the terms LMICs (low- and middle-income countries) and HICs (high-income countries) to refer specifically to an objectively measurable and inherently non-moralizing metric for economic development (i.e., GNI per capita), and they advisedly avoid putting any label on human development that would rank countries in any moralizing way.
