What does it even mean lol. I asked ChatGPT "will it be considered as offensive by some people when using words like Dad and Mum" and it gives this: https://chatgpt.com/share/676ba601-532c-800b-ba48-dcb73c848b5b https://chatgpt.com/share/676ba601-532c-800b-ba48-dcb73c848b... If this is "shocking" by Chinese standard and values then I suppose it says something about these values.

    Curious. Still 404ing for me: -- 404 Not Found Welcome, traveler. You’ve reached a page that doesn't exist, a place where content used to be—or maybe never was. Let’s take this moment to pause and reflect. Take a deep breath in, and let it out slowly. Notice the space around you, empty yet full of possibility. Imagine that each exhale clears away confusion, leaving room for clarity. As you sit with this blank page, know that it’s okay to be here. You’ve discovered something unexpected, and that’s part of the journey. Gently release any frustration, knowing that every path leads somewhere—even this one. Now, when you're ready, slowly return to your search. Trust that the right page, the right information, will appear when you need it. Take another deep breath, and when you exhale, click back or try again. The internet, like life, is full of surprises. Thank you for taking this moment of calm. Your journey continues.

      Works for me, though I have a subscription. Here's what the chat said: "No, using words like "Dad" and "Mum" is not generally considered offensive. These terms are widely accepted and used as informal, affectionate references to one's parents in many English-speaking cultures. However, there are a few things to keep in mind: Cultural Considerations Regional Differences: In some places, "Mum" might be more common (e.g., British English), while "Mom" is typical in American English. Using the wrong one might sound unusual, but it's not offensive. Personal Preferences: Some individuals might prefer being called by other terms (e.g., "Mother," "Father," or specific names). If addressing someone else's parents, it's polite to use the terms they prefer. Context Formal Situations: In formal or professional contexts, avoid overly familiar terms like "Dad" or "Mum" unless it's clear they are acceptable. Humor or Irony: Using "Dad" or "Mum" sarcastically or to address someone who isn't your parent might be taken as disrespectful, depending on the tone and relationship. As long as you're respectful and aware of your audience, these terms should not offend. If you're writing fiction, consider the character's background and relationships to determine the most natural and fitting way to address their parents."

        > Works for me, though I have a subscription. Here's what the chat said: Thanks — looks like I have to be signed in specifically on the web to see that, not just in the app (it errors when I try opening in the app, too). Bit frustrating that it's a 404 rather than a 401.

        Weird. For me it opens fine in mobile Safari without being logged in to ChatGPT in the browser on my phone. (Top bar has “log in” button showing I’m currently not logged in.) > Bit frustrating that it's a 404 rather than a 401. It is technically ok to give a 404 even if the reason is that you need to log in. But I fully agree that that kind of thing gets super confusing quickly. I run across similar kinds of things sometimes as a dev too trying to use some APIs and then I’m scratching my head extra much.
