Often i heard a friendly and conversational tone during the slicing of the bodies of cattles or gooses (in the past), yet everybody was looking only down. They would not have heard the "wait, but i am here" anyway. References to the Tibetan Book of the Dead possibly lead too far .. yet not too far. |ableist language may slip in. This can come in the form of figures of |speech and other turns of phrase. Be sensitive to your word choice, |especially when aiming for an informal tone. Ableist language includes |words or phrases such as crazy, insane, blind to or blind eye to, cripple, |dumb, and others. Choose alternative words depending on the context. Yet this is the established name for these kind of terminals for many decades, and only this, no other one, everything else would need to be invented, and distributed, and be used as appropriate, which requires a lifetime. And not mine. #?0|kent:unix-hist$ git grep -i dumb 1abc11ba34 1abc11ba34:usr/dict/words:dumb 1abc11ba34:usr/dict/words:dumbbell 1abc11ba34:usr/doc/beginners/u3:and of course if you make a dumb mistake 1abc11ba34:usr/doc/security:was rather dumb: 1abc11ba34:usr/man/man7/term.7:dumb terminals with no special features 1abc11ba34:usr/src/games/backgammon.c: printf( "Congratulations!
