Tech Workers Must Stop Saying QUERY

Query is a prejudicial term used by DBAs, Data Analysts, Data Technicians and others, which is unsafe for LGQBT and other people.

Query must stop being used.

[LukeL]

So you are saying one must be niggardly with the wordy query?

Ironside used the term a lot in the first season.

[fhayek]

They really should be niggardly in their use of ‘query’.

Next they’ll ban the name “Mary”.

Among the Old Irish, Mary was a synonym for homosexual.

I heard it during WWII, as in “Oh, the Kelly boy—he’s 4F—he’s a Mary.”

Another thing tech people need to stop saying is "did you try turning it off and then back on?"

Of course I tried turning it off and on. That's why I'm calling you.

[MortMan]

I sincerely hope this is tongue in cheek.

Otherwise, I will have to conclude it is post lobotomy ranting.

And does the “offended class” object to the standard layout for keyboards... referred to as QWERTY?

[Scrambler Bob]

with the wordy query?

A Trans query would be a QWERTY

[cradle of freedom]

I hear the name Nancy is used in that manner.

Request denied.

[RW_Whacko]

I think its high time these offended minorities accept OUR language.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

No, a “Trans query” would not be a QWERTY. It would be a Miley Cyrus “TWERTY”.

Sounds like you're letting the proverbial cat out of the bag. Not everyone knows that Raymond Burr was in fact homosexual.

His partner, who still runs their joint winery in Sonoma County California, Robert Benevides:

[Kirkwood]

Algorithm:
A mathematical formula used in software that performs a misleading or entirely false analysis on a set of data, particularly climate-based data. See also: GIGO (garbage in/garbage out).

[headstamp 2]

He was on to something in light of his personal life.

[Political Junkie Too]

Time to boot the query?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I used to have to call company tech support, they knew me they knew better then to ask things like that. They never asked me to check if anything was plugged in either after I informed them they seemed to have a eye-dee-ten-tee problem in their department.

So is ‘transfat’ an epithet for overweight transsexuals?

Do we have to ban the kitchen cleaner, “Spic and Span”?

How about “Aunt Jemima” or “Uncle Ben” (who is often confused with his brother, Thomas)?

Are we no longer allowed to use caulk on chinks?

Does the Mexican food guy in town have to sell burritos since I can’t call him a ‘taco vendor’?
