a detail you probably didn't know: nowhere in any #curl documentation do we use the word "very".

@bagder we did a similar sort of cleanup (not a CI check tho) in @bridgetown a while back removing the word "just". Nobody can "just" run this command or "just" install that plugin any more.
-
@bagder I'm very glad you have such high standards!
@geerlingguy
I am thorougly pleased as well. Very thoroughly.
@bagder -
@bagder I also block "just" this way, and "easy"

@bagder yes, I remember that meme from a few years ago. It's the kind of stuff techbros would do to feel superior. Do you also try to say "thank you" instead of "sorry"?

@bagder very interesting

@bagder curl transfers are much secure
@moritzdietz @bagder
Plenty secure -

@bagder is there a tool you’re using for this? I didn’t see it mentioned in the replies. I remember using something called Alex to do this in the past.

@bagder "just" / "simply"

@bagder I agree, but I also say to myself "very very verbose" when typing this command:
$ ssh -vvv

@bagder don't lie, I know your CI replaces “very” with “plus-”, which I find plusgood

@shaman007 it is too simple. There is almost always a better way to phrase the same thing without it. very happy = excited, very glad = thrilled, very hungry = starving, etc. So the use of "very" is a sign that it can be said better.
@bagder @shaman007 so no very excited

Full list is here in case anyone else is curious like I was:

@bagder That is very interesting. But I wonder if it's very necessary?

@iansu we have a custom script for it

@bagder @shaman007 IMHO for technical documentation: simple is better. BTW. Some spellcheckers can help you write better style before even saving the text.

@bitnacht @shaman007 in a distributed world where everyone uses their own tools and editors we need the checks in CI anyway. Those are the rules that bind us all.
