Findings
Suggestions, not verdicts
This tool reports what current style guides and standards bodies say — it doesn't decide what your document should say. Every finding is a suggestion, not an error: severities here are all "worth a look," never "wrong." A wordlist can't read intent, so several entries come with an explicit caveat explaining when the term is probably fine as-is. Read those caveats before changing anything; they're not filler.
Some terms are genuinely ambiguous — "guys" addressing a group that really is all men, or "special needs" in a context that legally requires that exact phrase. Where that's true, the finding says so directly instead of pretending to a certainty the tool doesn't have.
Code samples and quoted material are never flagged
Every fenced code block, indented code block, and inline `code span` is stripped before any rule runs, so a variable named is_blacklisted in a pasted snippet won't trigger a finding. Quoted material — text inside straight or curly quotation marks — is skipped too, since a direct quote using an older term isn't your document's own word choice.
