Followup to http://blog.beeminder.com/bugreports (notes in the source doc / comments)

Fun fact: Beeminder writes up bug reports in Latin. Not really. Well, a little bit really.

replicata, expectata, resultata, defectus delenda est, desiderata, nota nebulosa, cognata, veni vedi vici, verbata, circumventata, chronata (timeline), ...

I've made lots of updates to the original post so it's not exactly out of date but it would look a lot different if written today.

Maybe the saga of coming up with the retrospectively obvious "replicata" is interesting?

Cognata

Verbata: principles of software engineering, bug reports, replicata, onomastics, danny the nominazi 🧿,

Discussion with rperce in Discord today and mooted some additions: "praeterata" or "contextata" for background or context for getting a newbie up to speed.

("praeterata" is based on "praeteritus" for "the past", as seen in the grammar term "preterite" and sort of "preternatural")
