When my father learned typesetting it was absolutely frowned upon to do this. Surely one finds low quality type setting at every point in time. But that still doesn't invalidate the fact that it is a sign of poor quality. The offensive naming is a historical thing. I wouldn't call them that today, but can accept the fact that in times not so long gone by this was quite normal. It is like slave/master in IT terms. A historical technical term that should be replaced nowadays.
