I think this comment is off-topic. ---------------------------------------- Bug #5625: Remove profanity and pejoratives http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/5625 Author: Andrew Grimm Status: Assigned Priority: Normal Assignee: Eric Hodel Category: Target version: ruby -v: ruby 1.8.8dev (2011-05-25) [i386-darwin10.7.0] There are currently 6 lines with the f-word, 4 lines with "wtf" that weren't just random combinations of letters, and one line with "bullshit". While I personally dislike such profanity, the main benefit from getting rid of it is that it'd mean people of all ages could read Ruby's source code. There's also three lines where "lame" is used as a pejorative. Using a group of people as a pejorative should be avoided. -- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
