These folks should get together:
NXP:
"Standards organization MIPI has selected the terms “controller/target” as replacement in the case of the I2C and I3C bus that is used on many NXP products.
When there is no clear context or the context is defined by NXP, the replacements terms “leader/follower” have been selected as the default choice."
I personally don't believe removing words from our language will change the problem(s) we face as a society. Perhaps its even detrimental as folks might actually think they are accomplishing something.
