'Master' and 'slave': Tech terms face scrutiny amid anti-racism efforts

That it? You've got a page to fill. I note that El Reg had nothing to say about the Virgin blackout but nevertheless found space to go on about some New Zealand things. Looks like you can layer whataboutery on them too if you were so inclined.

In the end, it hardly matters. You either like reading what they post or not, and if you don't there are other sources. Personally, the BBC site seems to be aimed at toddlers with a 2-second attention span so I rarely visit. Didn't realise I should be upset about that.

It's straying too off-topic, so I will leave the BBC website, and its criticisms alone. But, to answer your specific points, for now.
There are plenty of proper examples possible, but (as previously hinted at), they would risk straying this topic, into off-topic realms.
You're right, the BBC website does seem to have been watered down, to at least an extent.

Hmmm.  No.  Maybe just you guys in England.  You have never been good with your own language really.  :P

Almost universal in the tech industry. Have worked with Israelis, Americans, Germans, Ukranians, Indians, Japanese, Belarussians, French and heard it everywhere.

Never heard it before in my life.
