Are women banned on HN now? I think I missed that ToS change.

  There's no gender specific wording anywhere on the open sourced website, or in the parent post, so the parent's regex works regardless of who's doing the regexing.

    I think they mean the word "Fiancee" which refers to a woman that is engaged to be married.
    - sov 8y ago
      I don't know anyone who uses fiancee in a gendered way; all my engaged friends refer to their future husband/wife as their fiancee (though, granted, I'm probably not as old as many here who are already wed so I might just be out of the loop). Google's definition of fiancee seems to offer both wife-to-be and husband-to-be as synonyms as well, so I'm not really sure the parent's sneer is really valid in this case.

        Apparently the number of "e"s matters and one means male and two means female. In practice, I highly doubt anyone actually knows or cares.

        The word fiancé/fiancée is gendered. It is one of the few gendered words in English, as the gender was not dropped in taking it from French. Fiancé refers to the male. Fiancée refers to the female. They are pronounced exactly the same, which is why you have never heard it.

        > It is one of the few gendered words in English Words with semantic, but not grammatical, gender are not uncommon in English which lacks grammatical gender. Fiancé and fiancée are separate English words with different semantic gender, based on different grammatical gender forms from French (which, unlike English, does have grammatical gender.) > Fiancé refers to the male. Fiancée refers to the female. Actually, following French where male grammatical gender is used when the actual gender of the referent is unknown, fiancé is also the generic term.

        The technicality here is that “fiancée” is historically female while “fiancé” is historically male. Same word, same pronunciation different suffix. Either way, nothing to get hung up about.
    - maemilius 8y ago
      TIL there's a separate term for the male in this case. Looking it up, it appears the distinction between fiancé (for the man) and fiancée (for the woman) has been falling out of style. This isn't helped by the fact that the distinction in spelling is, apparently, taken directly from French and that both words are pronounced the same way.
  - typon 8y ago
    The regex said "fiancéename", implying the person doing the regexing is a male with a female fiancée. It works for lesbian couples though
    - dragonwriter 8y ago
      People who haven't encountered both in writing (or perhaps who have, and dismissed them as alternate spellings) may not realize that the homophones fiancé and fiancée are actually two separate gender-differentiated terms (where the former is both the male-specific and gender-neutral one) and not one gender-neutral term that some people, perhaps incorrectly, spell differently.

  Actually women have been promoted to a supervisory role when it comes to wedding planning, so likely the groom would be tasked with the grunt work of dealing with the website.

  You’re misinterpreting it. After the gender neutral pronoun discussion yesterday, everything is now genderless.

  If this does not show up dead, then I think you can assume the answer is "no."

  You don’t need to be so snarky and sneering at someone just trying to help others when they make a mistake. Try to say things constructively instead.

  Oh, are heterosexual marriages the only ones allowed on HN now? /s Seriously, this type of outrage over a minor wording change is really not necessary.

This doesn't solve polymarriages, but fixing that is probably more than a regex.

I always found the concept of a whole website, domain name, etc dedicated to a wedding to feel a little... heavy. I understand it's a big occasion. It just feels like a lot for a single event and domain that will become irrelevant after the event is over.

  The project which I have linked here won't cost you a dime to set up. It will be hosted on github.com for free. My site is hosted on github too. No servers needed. Github also provides you with a default domain which you can use (and it recently started supporting https as well). You only pay around $10 if you need your own custom domain.
  - Y7ZCQtNo39 8y ago
    I wasn't questioning the price --and I get that static sites are fairly trivial to create and host-- just the idea of a full-blown website for a wedding. I know they're very common.
- setr 8y ago
  Eh, I’ve built websites for much stupider reasons than a wedding and its not like a domain name is expensive/difficult to acquire/unacquire. I mean hell the wedding invite card is going to require much more work/thought than this site, and it’ll be used even less (assuming the site is intended as an informational reference; the card will be used exactly once: to formally invite

  Yeah but men basically go insane when trying to impress women. The entire concept of a wedding is insane. That much time, effort and money for something that essentially amounts to a few photographs, most of which are fake and posed. A man wouldn't buy this for himself.
