RE: Pet Peeves

["Poshedly, Ken" <PoshedlyK -at- polysius -dot- com>]

Although I've been away from it for quite awhile, I must say that using
a "subordinate" flash unit along with the master flash unit when doing
portrait photography just doesn't sound right.

Master/Slave becomes Master/Subordinate. According to Adobe PDF search,
the term "male" is not used in a hardware context, only a general
linguistic context where replacements are recommended in this order:

1. "The"
John set his user settings
--> John set the user settings
2. "Their"
If any user has a setting issue, they can fix their problem with
RegEdit.
3. "His or Her"
Any user with a settings issue can fix his or her computer with a
sledgehammer.

I suppose even Microsoft believes the world should adapt to the reality
of metaphor. Somewhere, James Joyce is smiling.
