a detail you probably didn't know: nowhere in any #curl documentation do we use the word "very". It is a banned word enforced by a CI check. This rule encourages us to rewrite and instead use more appropriate words. Makes us write better English.

@bagder What if you wanted to document your rule against using the word?
Show threaddaniel:// stenberg://Mar 2
@gruber the rule is generic: we have a list of banned words and expressions. We don't need to specifically mention the words in that list! 😀

Full list is here in case anyone else is curious like I was:

@bagder @brynet @fraggle @gruber In my opinion it is good to use contractions to emphasise negativity. Otherwise you risk the reader missing the word not and misunderstanding the whole sentence.
