A subtle indication of softness which is spreading across our country. Words hurt? It continues for anything that may “offend” someone in our language use.
Yes, this was intentional, set into motion by certain factions which will remain nameless for purposes of posting on this forum. A small group of people with very loud voices who felt the word “master” was a trigger word that caused offense or harm to those who had to say or hear it.

Unlike other commenters here who liken it to phrases or words that have organically fallen out of favor, this particular word was specifically targeted for extinction from common usage. The real estate industry obliged. It seems that The Villages is complying with the new orthodoxy and helping to grease the rails on the infamous slippery slope.
