As a non-native speaker, I find both replacements difficult to understand. While many of the original comments are easy to grasp for +7 year olds who were never taught English, but are exposed to modern global ways of communication... > Better yet, since it's only 17 files, how about doing context-specific > changes? "This API is terrible", "Hateful interface", "Don't touch my > freakin' code", "What in the world were they thinking?" etc? The last one is not appropriate, as it's shooting at the person, not at the code (cfr. "You did a bad thing" vs. "you're a bad kid"). If the comments no longer apply, it's better to remove them.
