I am a native english speaker (born/raised in California) and also very self conscious about the way I sound for different reasons. I suspect many of us have this kind of internal battle, even if it seems relatively insignificant to other people.

I appreciate the approach of managing translations outside your backend code, but I wonder about whether the translated content can be indexed by search engines.

ie··on Show HN: Xtypejs – Efficient data-validating pseudo types for JavaScript
This looks incredibly useful and I appreciate the focus on performance. I often avoid writing helpers for type checking edge cases due to performance concerns, but you've done the hard work for me. Thank you.
