Default The Villages goes WOKE

I’ve noticed over the last few weeks that TV new home floor plans label the “Master” suite and bath as “Primary”.

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.

Language evolves. Old terms and phrases go away in favor of something else. No one says "twenty three skidoo" or "outa sight" anymore. No big deal.

Whining about this is simply another example, of those who weren't smart enough to know that Archie Bunker was meant to be a caricature of an abhorrent human being...not a role model. lol

So if you don’t agree with a comment, it’s whining. Have no clue why Archie B equates with this matter…

This is far from unique to The Villages.
Access Denied.


Why the Change?

Real estate professionals and trade associations regularly examine whether a term commonly used in real estate advertising or that is part of the lexicon is appropriate with the room, feature or property it’s associated with.

What’s a Better Name for This Room?

The most popular choice throughout the real estate industry to replace “master bedroom” is “primary bedroom,” which notes the room’s prominence.

Keskinkaya says she hears people correcting themselves as they work to break the habit of what they call the main bedroom of a home. “They’ll say, ‘Is this the master – I mean, primary – bedroom?” she says. “It’s starting to become the normal.”

First off I see people using Woke all of a sudden and have no idea what that is or means.

Second, while watching HVTV and Magnolia Channels they use Primary rather than Master and it drives me crazy. These words do not need to be changed, people read too much into things and they just change too much. These must be the same people trying to change or eliminate our history.

"A rose, by any other name, would smell as sweet".

I declared myself blessedly free of "Woke", actually back to its predecessor "Political correctness". It is a great feeling!

Aren't you tired of using that cliché term by now?

Realtors and builders nationwide have been using Primary or Principal to refer to bedrooms for the last five years or so.

This Principle is in charge of that Primary School.
