I dunno its just words. Dont you americans have a thing for free speach and
free press and all that jazz?

You guys seem almost as sensitive as the germans are about their history and
that is still living memory.

We went through the same problem a few years back with industrial robots.
When two robots are run from a single controller, the "lead-follow"
relationship
was made clear by labeling the robots "Master" and "Slave". This has been
unacceptable practice for about five years now.

This was hardly offensive compared to:
The six axes of the robot have been identified as "S,L,U,R,B,T". These
letters
often come up on error screens. The earlier 4 axis models did not have the
"R" or "B" axes, this made for an embarrassing bit of name calling when the
remaining 4 letters were displayed.
