Political correctness
To cultivate a professional image, we long ago capitalized all references
to God in error message text and also reworded all instances of “fucked up” to
“borked”. We have now also changed this warning message: “TCP/IP fingerprinting
(for OS scan) requires root privileges. Sorry, dude.” A woman reported that it
was “highly offensive and sexist”, that “times have changed and many women now
use your software”, and “a sexist remark like the one above should have no
place in software.”
I doubt anyone has issues with being called "dude"...
