What can that title mean? It has come to my ears that because of the sound of master suite possibly appearing to be at least a bit r****t we have to stop using that term in real estate descriptions. What can we do to avoid that implication? Why we can call that part of the house owner's suite or some other non-r****t sounding terms. My God, when will the PC police ever stop operating?

Thanks for posting this, OldRoy. My daughter, who resides on the East Coast, closed the sale of her house last month, to move to a larger home, following the birth of my youngest grandchild.

This will make it possible for me to ask her what she's calling her bedroom, and explain why. I will then hold my ears, as she does not suffer the PC of contemporary fools gladly. :?

So you brought up your daughter right? Good work. I have been hearing that stuff from Bill O'Reilly and keep wondering when the people at HGTV, my next favorite channel, will hear about it.

Let me know what your daughter says about that part of the house.

I am still waiting on the people at HGTV to force their actors to use something like owners suite instead of master suite. Maybe they are still using old issues of their shows and will make the change soon.

Aw come on. I know they don't see anything that isn't straight up liberal as nothing they want to think about, but those three words have no sexist meaning in my eyes. Penmanship? Oh yeah I see the man in it.

The thing that bothers me is to see them taking man out of our language but now woman. Will we ever see all references to sex taken away? I don't think so.

How can they do that, other than recommend it? What about freedom of speech?

Is their a warning, a fine, or do they slam the cell door on you? :?:

Zermiah, Look at the bright side. They can't use a"HANGMAN".
Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

Very humorous. Now what one of those Airman people? Don't they even classify their ranks with that term?

The state of Washington is so liberal I doubt they put anyone in jail, unless they try to discipline their child, or quote the Bible to them.

They made Euthanasia legal last year, but I'm sure they use a knock-out drug (a permanent one), and soothing music.

I suppose the airmen will become airpersons, or airentities.

Euthanasia is what was done to old people in the movie ,"Soylent Green. After people died they became the wafers of food that people had to live on till they got tired and submitted to the peaceful death.
