I've changed the subject line to reflect that I'm not posting directly about HTML but more something that is coming up more often. Especially in the Controller Area Network (CAN) world.
It's no longer politically correct to use the term Master/Slave. But some of the replacement terms, even in other areas are clumsy like Mailperson rather than Mailman So words like buildbot with two syllables are easier to read and speak than buildworkers with three syllables. What I'm asking for is perhaps a list of possible replacement terms that describe the replacement of master/slave to something else. Client/Server always confuses me as to who is in charge. Not sure why. And nowadays even Server may be politically incorrect. Sender/Receiver has 3 syllables again on one of them. Controller/Device again 3 syllables. So what could be used that stays at one or two syllables for each?
