they don't mean the same thing.

It's so frustrating that an issue inside American society impacts 93% of the World who is not American.

We should drop American english as primary language and in this case use the German meister or even better the Italian mastro or its Latin root magister

Which are all translations of master and have no relation with slavery of any kind.

Like we also did to disambiguate free (gratis - another Latin word ) from libre (from Latin - again - liber)

English is too ambiguous and irregular.

EDIT: not for these decisions, but incidentally using Libre in the name, my goto alternative has become Librewolf. For the few websites that are broken in LW I use Brave.
