> add more words that should be cought

I hope they have fewer typos in their slur list than in their code comments :)

I started reading the list from the bottom up, and saw the N word written with a W a first letter. I first thought they were going to do a .replace("W", "N") to avoid spelling the word in plain text.

They'll have issues once github bans slurs from source code! ;)




GitHub already bans accounts and repos for using no-no words in commits, PRs, and comments. See: https://www.techdirt.com/2021/02/03/content-moderation-case-...


It's not a typo. Google it. It's a derogatory term for white people who adopt black culture and mannerisms.


I think they mean cought vs caught
