    a detail you probably didn't know: nowhere in any #curl documentation do we use the word "very". It is a banned word enforced by a CI check. This rule encourages us to rewrite and instead use more appropriate words. Makes us write better English.

      @bagder What if you wanted to document your rule against using the word?

          @gruber the rule is generic: we have a list of banned words and expressions. We don't need to specifically mention the words in that list! 😀

                  @bagder @gruber You could even say that the code documents itself.

                    I can tell you that this bites me just about every time I write more than two sentences. Then I go back, edit and push a fixup commit and hope that I learned something. Again.

                              @bagder Truth Social ought to have a similar automated check, at least for a particular account.

                                @bagder this reminds me of a teacher I had. Every time someone said "like" as a filler word, he yelled "LIKE!!" back at us. It was like very effective.

                                  @bagder A poet once told me off for using the word "get" as it was lazy: a real verb can almost always be used in its place. She did not offer any judgement on the word "post" or "options".

                                        @bagder I use Vale to lint my prose. It calls "very" out as one of a set of "weasel words".

                                          my English teacher banned the use of the word "just" in most contexts
                                          "I was just xyz..." for instance
                                          redundant
