You guys are kind of missing my point and hyper focusing on the word here.
There is nothing inherently dangerous about the word sidealley but if you're at night with someone that is already fearful of the city and you tell them you are taking a sidealley, they might not be so willing.
Someone that doesn't know how to drive well will probably avoid the bumpy and confusing sideroads.
The word has negative connotation and it's use is benefiting Google. That's my main point, maybe I should of used less safe instead of dangerous.
I think we more just disagree with your points rather than miss them. We have never seen this term be scary for the non technically involved people in our lives, nor has the examples you provided to prove your point been considered scary to people we know.
Many times, people in this chain have effectively asked for proof of what you claim, but you just keep reiterating your feeling/opinion.
Now, it's possible that everyone here just associates with people who aren't afraid of technology enough to run across it, but that's all we have to work with until provided evidence.
