A quotation from C. S. Lewis

In civilised life domestic hatred usually expresses itself by saying things which would appear quite harmless on paper (the words are not offensive) but in such a voice, or at such a moment, that they are not far short of a blow in the face.

C. S. Lewis (1898-1963) English writer, literary scholar, lay theologian [Clive Staples Lewis]
The Screwtape Letters, Letter 3 (1942)

En ce moment je m'occupe de l'#internationalisation des textes d'une #codebase américaine. C'est passionnant de voir toutes les constructions hyper langue-centrées quand une #app n'est pas du tout pensée pour la trad dès la conception.

Exemple spécial US: ils utilis(ai)ent la librairie #inflection pour pluraliser des noms de ressources dynamiques dans l'UI. Le·a dev qui a fait ça s'est sans doute senti très malin sur le moment, sauf que non.
