I worked in factory automation for years. We had cascade control algorithms that incorporated a master and a slave control loop. I wonder when the wokes will rename them.

A few years back if I remember correctly.

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.

So if both posts are accepted as truth, then it logically follows that calling a "Master Suite" the "Primary Suite", is a "good way to destroy our youngster's brain"...

got it. Thanks for the heads up.

LOL Good one!

As an aside........our home has a master bedroom and master suite. That is what they were labeled when we purchased the home and we still refer to them with those names today.

When I want to sleep tonight, I'll go to my Master Bedroom and in the morning I'll make some Aunt Jemima Pancakes.

Yup.....too much "woke" stuff going on. I do understand why the use of the word "master" is frowned upon by the woke generation but I do not agree with any of that stuff. It is infuriating to see our history being erased.

This is not a case of evolving language. This is part of the continued WOKE attack on our language and history. Our country, life, liberty, and freedom of speach are all a big deal.

Agree. I have seen it with my own eyes what indoctrination can do the the minds of young people. My niece went to a college in Boston and had a long period of time that she and her father did not speak to each other. Sad really.

Agreed. Slang is one thing. Established language written and spoken in grammatically correct form is quite another.

Another day, another topic to rile up the old people. A lot of hand-wringing for nothing.

NBA changed the word "owners" to "governors"

I wonder what are they gonna do about the Masters golf tournament. Surely they have to change that name.

In NY they changed the name from inmates to incarcerated individual.

Master comes from the Latin word magistier, which means chief.

How about Master Carpenter, does that have to go?

I get a kick out of the word game mental gymnastics. lol.

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.”
No one said it was "unique to TV"...

It was just opined that they are jumping on the language police bandwagon...

I can't wait until they change the title and words to one of my favorite songs in "Les Misérables"...

"Primary Resident of the House!"

LOL, LOL, LOL, most of the age group looking here would just assume leaving out an IMPORTANT feature (in an effort to "rename" it) would just cause them to move on from that ad, LOL ! Wonder what will be NEXT ? NO MORE Master planning for community councils ? No more Master plumbers or electricians... all EQUALLY mediocre ? Can't wait to see what they call the most experienced captains at sea... no more Master mariners ! Let's see, good thing they no longer make the American made "Mix Masters", it was THE food mixer to have when my gram made the cookies and goodies from the day after thanks giving on until Christmas ! No more "mastering" the art of painting, or ballet, or calligraphy ? Such a sad, sad, word. Trying to RE-define, eliminate, and entire language does have it's perks....it is part of erasing the culture of a people ! Orwell, Pasternak, Stalin, Lenin, etc. Foolish people, foolish villages real estate people, jump on the latest "band wagon", who cares where it's headed !
