I think a lot of recent changes in the language are harmful. Many common,
short, clear, and concise words and phrases are being replaces with long,
vague, sterile versions. Not only in the IT field, but everywhere.
Black people refer to themselves "a person of color", and then even shorten

complaining about a server being called "slave".

As some of you may have notice, a hot discussion is happening in the
comments of this pull request: https://github.com/django/django/pull/2692
