You're losing context.
'Landlord' is a perfectly reasonable word, and there's not reason to try to correct it, or get into the etymology of it.
You're down an crazy rabbit hole of splitting hairs and lack of contextualization, which is why you're having trouble understanding why it's an absurd kind of 'correction'.
If I wanted to take apart anything you ever wrote with such fine grained and pedantic inanity, I could, and you could never write anything.
'Landlord' is an accepted term - there's no reason to correct it.
"The tool there would not be saying that "policeman" is wrong and should never be used"
Again, no. It's a more complicated term, but it has it's use.
This is 'Social Justice Fascist Authoritarianism' - unhinged ideological moralization, perniciously and hypocritically pursuing an aggressive agenda through all vectors i.e. corporate, private.
If you want to be corrected by Social Justice Fascists at every turn with an ever increasing number of ridiculous claims on language - it's your choice. You can buy that plug-in and for it.
The rest of us do not want to have our language corrected in an ideological manner.
I have no problem if the city council stops using the term 'Policeman', that's fine, but I also don't care if anyone uses the term otherwise, and nobody else does either.
