I'm fine with changing a word if there is a good reason to.
But I don't like this "wordophobia" where people are afraid of using words and we just keep adding new words that people can't use.
It reminds me of the Harry Potter series where they always try to avoid saying the name of Voldemort.
Don't be like that.
I think we should all be like Harry Potter himself and not be afraid of using words, not even the ones that remind us of something bad (which I don't even think these words do).

- robalni 6y agoYes, we should be happy as long as these words are not cursed.
