Re:Google Docs will “warn you away from inappropriate words” by lern_too_spel on Tuesday April 19, 2022 @07:00PM (#31090497)
If I were writing a document to be shared with Russian government officials, I would want those suggestions. The consequences of making my document not suit its audience already exist. If I'm writing a suggestion to my mail carrier, I wouldn't want to use the the word "mailman" because she could see it as being passive aggressive and interpret the suggestion accordingly.

This, just like spell-checking, just makes it easier to write a document that won't make the audience quibble over diction or make negative inferences about tone.
