If "FCK" or "XXXCNTSLT" appear in the middle of the code, do you think the people who would have been offended by "SHIT" will be happier?

A is a vowel

Right. You got my point though.

Yes.

Talking about taboo words, this makes me think about the words you can spell with hex numbers. When I did a bit of embedded programming and electronics control, we used these to visually mark up the raw data. I remember DEADBEEF and B00B, and there were others I forgot.

CAFEBABE is famously the java class file magic number

ofc i know this because im writing a jvm for my thesis :/

And the ever popular A55FACE.

> DEADBEEF and B00B

0xDEADBEEF is even more evocative. OxB00B is, well, problematic.

but then is JHWH ok?

According to the Jews, yes.
