Most of the programming language Y to language Z requires the user to know more Z than Y. Kind of losing the point there. Everything's not only about making points, but still...

What does it mean to say that you were "offended" by it? What sort of emotion did it elicit? It's a word that you don't say, I get that, but how do you make the jump from "I must not say this word" to "I am disturbed in some way when I encounter somebody else who does not share my religious taboo" ? I don't think you actually make that jump, if you reflect on what you actually think and feel about this.

Frankly, I don't believe you. If being made aware of people who do not share your religious convictions, both in style and magnitude, really effected you in a negative way, then you would be in a non-functioning emotional tizzy 24/7 unless you were living isolated away on a compound or something. No, there is no genuine emotional damage here, nothing but a purely academic notion of "offense".
Just another opportunity for cultural imperialism. Yet another failure to recognize that religious rules should not be imposed on others, and are only acceptable in modern society when applied to yourself.

If you don't like it, then don't say it. If the existence of people who do not share your religious beliefs honestly disturbs you, then you have some serious problems. Frankly, I don't believe you.

Give me a fucking break, neutering language because somebody somewhere might hypothetically be emotionally damaged by reading it is something that we can save for marketers writing bone-dry press releases. If you don't like that word, then you don't have to say it. Pestering other people for saying it is a joke. Why don't you go submit pull requests to every single fucking project using the WTFPL license while you ar…
