Disagree. I just heard it used yesterday. It's a fairly common word. You NOT hearing it is not as important if others are hearing it. Granted, I think it's far too late to change the name for lots of reasons, but let's not try and talk ourselves into believing that it was a good name choice or that it doesn't have serious derogatory context to most English-speakers who graduated from the fifth grade. _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
