If you use "NO" it gets parsed as norway
2 comments

The whole "`NO` is Norway" thing is indeed one of the footguns people love to bring up. However, as someone who is writing the YAML manually, and has a syntax highlighter, these issues don't manifest.
I dunno, this is where I said fuck it and never used it again.

I don't know what kind of mind will that as an OK reserved word for a programming language. but OK..

I guess I'm lucky I didn't need to use yaml for my work.

I thought it was the other way around? i.e. "NO", in a document that intends "NO" to mean "Norway", is parsed as "False".
