Slaves to speech suppression are masters of nothing

You know, if we're gonna do that, "Honeypot" and "Honeynet" have to go. They actually still mean things in parts of the English-speaking world that are seriously racist.

Hey, if the author dislikes "master/slave" in computing, maybe s/he can get us all to use "manager/employee". Functionally, there is very like literally when things go as planned. Oh wait, nevermind, we dislike word-mincing.

Maybe server/client? No, that isnt always accurate.

Words change. Perhaps we'd prefer "Roman"/"Slav" dynamic? Oh wait, the Romans took so many Slavs as slaves that their word for "people" became the Roman word for "slave".

"Foundational" / "Associate" could work well. Like the way "associate" in a law firm used to mean something. Now even the bagger on their first day at the grocery store has "associate" on their tag.

I dont care. Just make sure it communicates heirarchical data as is necessary to discern such in practicality.

The author uses a lot of soft terms to delineate between "manners" and "political correctness", but never makes a convincing argument about how to identify when something falls in either camp.

You can be guaranteed that there are people who use the term political correctness, that have a conception of its limits that you do not agree with. Question is, how do we identify who has the right definition?
