I will fight to keep them that way.
No one gives a shit what you call your PCs. They’re not rounding up a posse to come and forcefully rename them. Just take a breath.
And while you’re unbarricading the door the rest of the world will be moving on.
Comment on If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"?

My user name on all my PC’s(non root) is literally Master, my PC’s are all Slave, slave1, slave2. I will fight to keep them that way. I am also extremely anti slavery for sentient creatures. Words matter in the context of their intent. Dumbing down of the language by forcing alternate uses of a word to mean something other than its obvious intended use is evidence of dilusional minds. Pure and simple, they don’t deserve a seat at the table.

No. Di-lusional, opposite of mono-lusional.

It’s not their fault, they’ve all got the mispeling vyrus.

Weird hill to die on. Language changes. Some people think it’s how new ideas are not only shared but how they’re formed. You might be interested in Latin.
