They still get a lot of stuff from China, can't blame them at all.

Adafruit are still using the terms "Male/Female" and "MOSI/MISO".
Just on their site they choose to define MOSI as "Main output, secondary input". There is no "banning" of the word that I am aware of.
As usual, people want to get their opinion across and won't let facts get in the way of it.

Well if you want to argue semantics...
"Main output, secondary input" is not what MOSI means, it's just made up bullshit to be politically correct. Everyone knows it's Master out, Slave in, so were the words "master" and "slave" banned or were they just changed? What is the difference?

There is one thing the SJWs actually get right: if they don't want to bring attention to something, they speak about it in code words and don't post links to it :P
(Meanwhile, somebody is bumping the old thread in 3... 2... 1... :-DD)
I also appreciate that I can be passive-aggressive to them simply by using standard industry language, I like it 8)
