If the analyses are to be useful, *all* the flagged words and phrases need to be linked to potential replacements. Very few are listed on the INI word list [1].
I'll try to put together a page while I wait for the INI folks to decide what to put on their list.
The following need suggested replacements: - sanity check
Quick check; Functional test; smoke test
- dummy value
Temporary value. Placeholder. Example value.
- grandfather
This one is harder. There's some discussion here: https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/336913/more-inclusive-formal-synonym-for-grandfathered-in Possibly legacy? I'm not sure.
- gr[ea]ybeard
This is just ageist, and so probably the entire concept should be rethought, rather than a replacement word chosen.
- insane
I'm not sure what to suggest here. I guess, in context, what's usually being said is that something wasn't very well designed, or doesn't work. I'll have to find some examples.
- lame
Non-functional? Not sure. I'll have to find some examples here, too.
- man hours
Work hours would probably work.
- retarded
I have not encountered this in code/docs, so I'm not sure what would be appropriate.
- whitehat, blackhat
Ethical/unethical (in the context of hacking) I think are preferred terms here.
I think the fact that the INI initiative has only listed 4 words so far indicates that this is a non-trivial problem. Sebb. [1] https://inclusivenaming.org/language/word-list/ Only has suggestions for master, slave, whitelist, blacklist at present. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: diversity-unsubscr...@apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: diversity-h...@apache.org
