That "anyone" isn't a fixed set. The guidelines Google is listing are pretty minor steps someone can take to try to maximize the size of that set.
- lolinder 4y agoThere are probably minor steps that can be taken, but Google's guidelines are not that. Following Google's guidelines would involve completely reworking large parts of our vocabulary: more than just "whitelist" and "blacklist", we're now supposed to avoid "hit the API", "the process hangs", "native code", "first-class functions", "sanity check", "dummy variable", "senior citizens", and a bunch of other completely innocent phrases that Google is worried that someone somewhere might be offended by. Going through my documentation and worrying about the possible misinterpretations of every single word is not a minor step.
