Well, I'm an appraiser and I still use it in my sketches in the reports.... but after reading a few of the posts, I expect to get a memo from Fed Gov anytime now.

So yeah, anyone who wouldn't buy a house because of that term being used would be a hypersensitive pussy. For example, I could see Simplicity doing something like that someday.
I wonder if we will have to stop using the terms Slave and Master in computer terminology as well?

There is a digital logic ckt. that is called "Master/Slave" unit. Are the PC Nazis getting nerveous over that language? When are these extremists going to do the world a favor and die?

On a related note. NFL Blackouts will now be referred to as African American Outs

This is the official name for the Water Closet in the Owner's Suite Bath.

I actually read an article years ago addressing this very thing. Thought it was stupid then...but it would not shock me at all if it came to pass.

Why should you have any opinion about this in any way, other than "that's your business decision? You think it works for you? Go for it."

Seriously. I think the "political correctness" crowd can mark this down as their "jumped the shark" moment.

Now, not even a business acting in its own self interest, without any fanfare or outside pressure of any kind, can make a choice like this without getting some people pissed off.

So much for even the barely coherent "give me my 1st amendment freedoms!!!" non-sense.
They can call it what they want, but let's not pretend it isn't pretty stupid that people got upset over the phrase Master Bedroom to begin with, which is probably what prompted the change.
