Motherboard and main board are both still used, and there are "daughter" boards/cards as well.
I think the people who can't handle the names of things just shouldn't use them. Leave life to the rest of us who aren't afraid of living.

I guess the terms 'male ends' and 'female ends' are also on the block....

The gov't schools are busy re-educating our churln that it's C.E. (common era) and B.C.E. (before common era) and not A.D. (anno Domini--"year of our Lord") and B.C. (before Christ).
The wicked deal in confusion, not fact.

What living American was ever a slave?

It's entirely possible that some immigrants from east Africa, now naturalised citizens, have either owned or been slaves.
