Being Australian we have no cultural sensitivities to slavery, but to be

honest, master/slave works perfectly and was the reason it was used in the

first place. From my perspective, I simply dont get the problem other than

the growing problem with political correctness. What is going to happen

when electricians need to no longer use male and female plugs and how on

earth do we include transexual plugs?

Subject: Alternatives to Master and Slave Terminology Redux

Dear Vixens and Reynards:

I realise that it is Friday afternoon, but I work then, too.

I really do want some terminology that is accurate, minimally

offensive, and that does not sound stupid.

Have another look at my use case:

2) The second one is puzzling me. I have forms with an (often) key

portion (master) and a non-key portion (slave). "key" and "non-key" are

awkward and do not communicate well to a non-IT person. "parent" and

"child" is not accurate. What do you suggest?

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko
