[mythtv-users] references to "significant other"

Many wives (including presumably those of the loving husbands posting
here who nonetheless recognize the limitations of their wives) are
technically illiterate.  Tiptoeing around an uncomfortable fact of
this nature is political correctness, a philosophy I vehemently
oppose.

What if that's the main reason someone wants a particular feature?

I think you just need to drop this and deal with your inner demons in
private.  Everyone will continue to express themselves as they see
fit, whereupon you can feel free to ignore what you don't like.  Don't
waste everyone's time trying to re-form all discourse you encounter to
fit a Simon-approved(TM) mold.
