politcal correctness

This task will be fraught with much angst. Many gender-specific words are now considered derogatory if not vulgar.

Many of those words are no longer used or even condoned in polite society.

The task will require a translator in context, something way above my ability.

The male/female names of various animals is problematic as there's a lot overlap. More so, with human names (which I elected not to enter nor support).

I was toying with the idea of flagging some of the XXXman/XXXwoman/XXXmen/XXXwomen words to make the list smaller.

Perhaps, to save space, a common list of words could be constructed and programmers could just read that file. -- Gerard Schildberger 08:18, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
