Hi all,

I'm torn.  I added & removed ‘-close’ a few times just now.

The initial post was doomed to be flame bate because of the subject matter, but was probably in good faith, apart from the title.

If it wasn't, it can be reinterpreted that way, and since when does authorial intent matter… :-)

But then, as deterministic dominoes in motion, we follow the unavoidable and predictable path downward. Guix should follow my arbitrary grammar rules! — no it shouldn't. Guix must listen only to my chosen demographic! — no it shouldn't. Gender-neutral language is offensive to sexists! — good.

Notably scarce are arguments that actually stand on their own, that can help build a (new) consensus if you disagree with the current translation.

I don't speak much Spanish, but Ludo's suggestions sound great to me. How about we turn them into guidelines and add them to Contributing?

Kind regards,

T G-R
