I don’t know who needs to hear this but you’re a person, not a user.
@aral thanks Aral 💜
@aral I'm a person (always) AND a user (sometimes). Words do have a meaning.
@moufle Thank you, I hadn’t realised that in my four decades of experience as a programmer.
@aral all the same!

You’re having an argument but already made all winning points months ahead.
@aral and, users are people.
You sound upset by people being called 'users'. Why? Maybe I am just used to English evolving continuously. You can't hang on to particular words too closely. There are what, 3billion? English users. This makes it rich.
@PhaiqMeus You don’t say. Thank you for enlightening me.

@aral Your sarcasm contradicts the original post. Please clarify your position.
@aral
I like the term "bug catcher" for "user".
@aral thanks Aral 💜
