An "Academic Survey on Discriminatory Language in Software" from Matthew Norflus, Department of Computer Science, Florida State University invited contributors of psysh, a REPL shell for PHP to answer a survey about potentially discriminatory language terms.

An interesting collection of terms encountered in softwares have been offered in the survey:

• Whitelist/Blacklist alternatives (Allowlist/Blocklist, etc.)
• Master/Slave alternatives (Leader/Follower, etc.)
• Grandfathered alternatives (Legacy status, etc.)
• Gender neutral nouns (folks, etc.)
• Gender neutral pronouns (they, ze, etc.)
• Sanity check alternatives (coherency check, etc.)
• Man hours alternatives (work hours, etc.)
• Dummy value alternatives (placeholder value, etc.)

Could we avoid those terms in our software as a part of our commitment for openness and non discriminatory stance?

In June 2021, INCITS published a standard with a guide of terms to avoid and alternatives: https://www.incits.org/dotAsset/29643f45-86d8-4137-987e-9685b944d1e0.pdf (edition 2022)
