Use of the word Grandfathered #8

We are reviewing the use of inclusive language within our code and the code that we depend on. We found the use of grandfather and grandfathered as a gendered word, where a more inclusive word would be better.I am thinking grandparent would be a good replacement. I notice that this repository has made no changes in the last 5 years. Are you in a position to fix this; if not we will need to assess how we can remove this package without impacting capability.

We have raised odpi/egeria#3486 to track this in our code.

Thanks for filing this issue. This package depends on a JSON-formatted version, in mattcg/language-subtag-registry, of the official IANA language tag data. That official data source uses the term 'grandfathered'. I can add a simple text replacement so that in this downstream package, 'grandfathered' is replace with 'grandparent'. However you'd still have one mention of 'father' in the str_replace, in the upstream package.

@davidradl let me know if that would work.
