And people named "Guy" can continue to be called "Guy", for the time being at least.

I wonder why it's still legal to give someone the name "Guy"

I wonder why people think in US-Centric only terms

Guy is a common French name

This is all tongue-in-cheek. There are guys named Guy in the US too.

No you don't.

Pedantic, to be sure, but the intent and overall thrust are a good thing, in my opinion as a woman in software engineering.

You know they specifically added that list to avoid people suggesting that Google are trying to implement a "simplistic word filter" or similar.

I'm pretty sure they also added it to head off other people "helpfully" implementing naive word filters and filing bugs based on them.

Well.... It would not surprise me if someone (I apologies if this is discriminatory towards people who identify as nothing) has already made a petition to IUPAC to change Helium into Theylium.

Really? Would it not surprise you? Or are you just being a bit _wide_, as we'd say in Scotland?

I feel like these quips intend to caution you before doing something inane like s/he/it/g.

I found it funny and in good taste.

It's ridiculous that people need to be told apparently that 'he' is okay in a base64 string.

We should probably switch to base60, just to be safe.

Better watch out for 0xBABE though.

I will go through a few terabytes of encrypted data today just to be sure.
