Waiter/waitress or server, which do you use?

@faery @faery I've honestly only ever heard them called waiters and waitresses here until recently, never heard an actual person being called a server apart from tennis players

@BlobbyMcBlobface Language is constantly evolving in numerous ways, including regionally. It's no big conspiracy. Professionals update/change their titles as they see fit.

@BlobbyMcBlobface I’ve never heard a tennis player call themselves a server.

Now come to think of it… I have heard the term in computer PC language.

@faery That makes sense.

@BillyMack Yeah, a food server's objective is to provide dinning service, while a tennis player does far more than just serve. There are other types of shots like forehands, backhands, volleys, and overheads. Come to think of it, would be kinda funny to call them backhanders, lol

@faery I was talking about when they're actually serving, not during the game itself.

@BlobbyMcBlobface Hm, never heard a tennis player called a server at any time. Maybe a player or competitor, or just by their name while stating they are serving.

@faery Same as I've never heard a waiter or waitress called a server, well not until recently anyway

@BlobbyMcBlobface Crazy world

@faery Indeed, but it might be boring otherwise

@BlobbyMcBlobface Forbid, forbid
