When a computer program changes it's name because it sounds dirty in English, just know that's imperialism at work.

@offset___cyan Too bad Esperanto, or Interlingua, didn't make it as a unifying world language.

Now, with the ubiquity of the Internet, driven essentially by 4 big companies all from that US, and an ever decreasing 2nd language education in most countries, we can calmly put a check behind that lost war.

Given that reality, when you write software and want it to be used in a culture that primarily speaks English, you wouldn't name it like "PIECE-OF-SHIT V1.0", would you?
