First they controlled Hollywood.

Then they controlled all of Politics.

Then they controlled when we went to war.

Now you want them to control your notes???

/s but “Joo” is filterspeak for “Jews”. Sounds antisemitic as fuck.

[mireofthedeep]

Joo is also Finnish for "yes" or "yep", name sounds like "yes-note".

You are totally right but the name may still be an unfortunate choice for native English speakers

I'm not a native english speaker. Totally didn't occur to me. My tongue somehow rolled like "zoo-note" to my mind at the time lol

I am a native English speaker and it has taken me reading all these comments about the name and a Google search to figure out people are equating joo with Jew. I still don't get what the issue is...

I'm a native English speaker and it's the literal first thing I thought of when I read the name.

> I still don't get what the issue is...

The word "jew" (as a verb) has roots in stereotypes about Jewish people and money; it's an ethnic slur. The word "jew" (instead of "a Jew" or "Jewish") is a dismissive insult. The word itself isn't inherently offensive, but it's often weaponized in English, which is why it has a lot of historical baggage that makes people very wary when they see it.

Thanks. After searching I thought it might be that but wasn't sure because it seemed so ridiculous.

It certainly wasn't my goto when I read it, but the fact it was for some people might suggest the developer should change it, if only for the fact that it might put off potential customers.

What a weird world we live in.

oh man, I swear it had nothing to do with Jews lol. But now i know how it sounds like. Sorry! love you all.
