    PC run amok?

    You can no longer refer to primary and secondary devices in computing as master and slave in California.

    I can no longer tell someone I work with that they have offended me, as that might offend them.

    I can no longer refer to mail that has not met its delivery target date as late mail. Management feels that that is creating a hostile work environment.

    You're not supposed to call the ions left behind when you break up a large molecule "daughter" ions anymore! (A VERY geeky mass spec reference.)

    In the computer world, the pc would be the slave & a system terminal
    screen would be the master. The master has more capabilities whereas the
    slave pc can only reflect the effects/system commands, in the system.

    That's one example of the master/slave relationship.
