Ramblin Gambler Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I got that with Modbus. Modbus has a master and a slave and it's not used much anymore. I only run into it on legacy systems for the most part these days. So that means it was never slapped by the PC police. I was showing a young engineer around modbus and he got visibly uncomfortable with the terms. He wanted to give them different names. "So it's like Server/Client?" "No, it's not server/client, there is an option in Modbus that is server/client and it's different." On 4/14/2021 at 11:22 AM, Alpo said: I was on a board where someone had written im***sible. I looked at that for the longest time before I realized that the nanny-ware had edited out POS. On a gaming website I used to read, the filters were so tight that we couldn't even talk about onegrouping a raid zone (a raid is multiple groups so being able to onegroup it is a big deal) because of the naughty word right in the middle. Took me a long time to figure out what o*****up meant. In the politics section of that website we couldn't even talk about Chris Coons back when he was doing something worth talking about.

Or male and female ends of pipe? I remember asking my mom about why this was so when I was a kid. Her answer was, “Because men think they’re so funny”.

A group lobbied to have interstate 69 re-named to something else because the name I69 offended them. Thank goodness the idea went nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
