It really hurts me as an educator, because of course we need to adopt the updated wording because we are sensitive to the changing times and morals, but we also need to make sure that students are aware of the old terms so that they are not unduly confused when they get into the real world, because out there, you're going to find a lot of legacy code and legacy documentation, and most importantly, legacy people like me. At fifty years of age and never much for PC terminology, I am having difficulty adjusting my vocabulary to the "new normal" particularly some things which had come so naturally, such as pronouning people I don't know. I am just thankful that I don't work over real-time video, so I can adjust and correct my writing if I slip up. |
