@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange Might we at the same time upgrade grapefruit to pamplemousse and slipper to pantoufle? Likewise much more fun to say.

    @ShaulaEvans@zirk.us @david_chisnall@infosec.exchange that's not such a nice idea, as we just managed to replace the german "Pampelmuse" with "Grapefruit" 🤪

    @ShaulaEvans@zirk.us @david_chisnall@infosec.exchange For the longest time I had my kids convinced that a pamplemouse was a small furry creature that lives on a diet of grapefruit. Not sure they've forgiven me yet.
