Return the use of "master pages" instead of "parent pages"
In the latest version Adobe decided that their job was to educate us to speak proper language, which is why the word "master pages" was replaced with "parent pages".
We do not find any problem with the phrase "master pages" and believe that it is not Adobe's role to dictate policy according to progressive agendas.
We demand to return to the previous concept of "master pages".
The term "parent pages" is confusing and misleading, with all the documentation of the software on the web for 2 decades referring to master pages.

Who is "we"? This is a non-issue, except to the oversensitive and backward. "Master" comes from a root word meaning "more" or "greater than." Same root as "magistrate," for example. "Parent," on the other hand comes from a root word meaning "to bring forth." That's a better sense in this context. Parent and child are already used in coding anyway.
My advice is to take a breath, then worry about something important. Life is change. You'll get used to it. Adobe is wise to ignore regressive agendas.

I'd be all for the name change if it was talking about any living thing. But for inanimate objects, master means, "an original from which copies can be made."
By changing it to "parent," Adobe needlessly humanized a piece of software after misinterpreting their own use of the word "master."
