Mostly logical and makes sense, BUT how is one supposed to go over all those? is there lint tool to check documentations?

Of course! Many person-hours will be spent on inclusive language tooling and services that will carefully keep track of your word offenses, with automated reminders of any infractions!

I have actually seen a linter complain about “mastercard” in a JSON commit. In payment processing, we don’t get to change that.
