This pull request contains a mix of changes to the suggested language page. Each change is separated into its own commit.

The change to the suggestions for whitelist/blacklist is similar in spirit to #45.

Same comment as below – the Language workstream is re-evaluating these suggestions and will revise the recommendations themselves shortly. I like your revisions to the reasoning itself and would like to merge those, however.

Fair enough, I'll revisit that after the language workstream is done.

@celestehorgan any more comments on this PR or can it be merged?

Nytelife26 commented 3 years ago

There are still doubts as to the technical correctness of the second paragraph. I believe we'll have to wait for the workstream to write up the recommendation regarding blacklist / whitelist prior to merging either PR related to the subject

Now that the pull request has already been cut down substantially, I am not sure there's anything new on the technical side (i.e. in the second paragraph. The differences amount to:

giving a clear example of what is meant above by "allowedNouns" (i.e. technical but not new).
pointing out that "allow" and "deny" are synonyms in verb context (not technical)
pointing out what is difficult to translate to other human languages (not technical) and in your words "does more harm than good"
giving an example of what to do in narrative text (not technical)
