........Woke is the past tense of aware. It means someone is awake and not sleeping.
.........Most YOUNGER people buying real estate will have NO problem adapting to the word PRIMARY for a bedroom. Words and language constantly evolve and there IS no stopping it. Just like America has evolved its demographic ethnic percentages. I would be fine with a TOTAL blending in the FUTURE.

Good points.
I recall back in the 1990s when the term "salad bowl" (as opposed to "melting pot") had a brief run as the descriptor
du jour. It didn't last, primarily because I believe it ran so diametrically opposite of what America is, and always has been.
E Pluribus, Unum. America has always been a fractious, squabbling bunch of differences, but when the time comes, we band together. We've always done that. I certainly hope that we can continue to do so in the future.
