“Fork it then!”
The mating call of the fossbird when called out on its lack of inclusivity.
@aral What is the problem here? Too technical name or what?
@Elias Dictionaries are such amazing things.
@aral Yes - although I don't check the possible significances of every single acronym I use, especially on foreign languages.
Are you aware of any proof this would be done on purpose? If so, these dudes and gals probably drive a Mitsubishi Pajero, pajero understood as in Spanish. :/
@Elias Yes, they’ve made a point of doubling down and defending the name.
@aral I'd like to read it. Where is it?
@aral Thank you! Although I very well might have found it, it is a very good practise to give refences - even in a lighter discussion like this.
That said, IMHO you have a point in this. I say partly because I don't like the american tradition of having acronyms all over the place.

@aral Yeah, they don't really want you forking it, either. They persecuted the people trying to rename GNU IMP.
@mdhughes Oh, I missed that. Will look it up when I get a chance.
@aral Correct response to that: "fork you!"
