The “user” example surprised me because they suggested “client” as an alternative, which might unintentionally imply the person frequents prostitutes.

- colpabar 4y agoWhoa there pal, did you say "prostitute"? I think you mean "person who engages in sex work".
- antihero 4y agoAlso stupid because client has both a very different technological and semantic meaning.
- nkrisc 4y agoThat was my point. Also I haven’t heard anyone use the word “user” to mean a drug addict since the 90s, I think.
