I feel like it's gotten more professional. 10+ years ago people were dropping the hard R in pull request reviews, now everyone is acting like LinkedIn-speak and Stars will get them their next job

...What? Is this the Linus Sebastian misconception of what the hard R is?

[stavros]

Yeeeah I'm pretty sure I've never seen a hard R on a PR.

[anonymars]

I'm guessing they are referring to a certain synonym for idiot/moron/imbecile/cretin/dolt/etc. which fell off the euphemistic treadmill

[stavros]

Yeah, that's the Linus "hard R" (he thought "hard R" referred to "retard"), but it's just wrong. "Hard R" is "nigger", in opposition to soft r ("nigga"). I don't think there's even a question, that's how hard/soft has always been used. Anything else is just confusion, I think.

[piperswe]

That would be the “Linus Sebastian misconception”

[hogwasher]

Ok, but I can't possibly be the only one who has no idea who that is, let alone what misconceptions they have.
