Tell me about it Queenie. I have to do so many quickfire mental revisions whilst I'm talking to people in meetings and such, because it's like a bloody minefield. I know. I know. Schools are led now by Head Teachers, but my mind still wants to say Head Master. It's probably only in the last ten years that I stopped saying 'half caste' and started saying 'mixed race'. I am now not really sure what is the current accepted term *chuckles*
Such is life. Each generation reimagines themselves and the world they're in, and what seemed compatible with their parents identities may not be compatible with their own.
