Carol Willing  added the comment:

Thank you for filing an issue. I will be carefully reviewing the Python 
documentation section by section over the next several months. I will open 
individual issues as I go through each section as well as pull requests as I 
thoughtfully review each section.

I'm closing this issue but will be opening individual issues by documentation 
section as time permits my review.

[issue34660] Remove ableist terms and pejoratives from source code and docs

[25.45]

New submission from 25.45 :

It has come to my attention that CPython's source code contains problematic 
ableist/saneist terms and/or pejoratives, namely

sanity check144
silly   26
insane  13
crazy   13
stupid  6
lame2
lunatic 1

Some of those slipped into the documentation. In an attempt to make Python 
community more inclusive and welcoming, we should clean up these usages and 
replace them with something neutral (where applicable). Unfortunately, to this 
day many developers deem such efforts as "trolling", so please note that the 
precedent has already been set by many major projects. Here're just a few:

https://github.com/unpkg/unpkg.com/pull/81
https://github.com/reduxjs/redux/pull/2335
https://github.com/rtfd/readthedocs.org/pull/3752
https://github.com/krzysztofzablocki/Sourcery/issues/2
https://github.com/google/xi-editor/pull/126

Other resources:

https://english.stackexchange.com/q/282282
http://isthisableism.tumblr.com/sluralternatives

The goal of this issue is not to stir up arguments, but to figure out the 
alternatives and ways to replace those problematic terms.
