daniel:// stenberg://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.
and now I'm about to drop all uses of "just"... https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/20793

I'd kill use of 'seems', 'got' and lowercase 'get' while you're at it. Probably 'have' and 'has' too.
Do I like my documentation very precise and unambiguous? Yes! Do I manage that? Not consistently.
I would appreciate a weasel word filter for vim so that I consider my written form with the precision and specificity that it deserves.
Oh! And 'like'. 'Like' can do one.
Stewart Russell@bloognoo what could possibly be wrong with "got"? It's only Americans who can't spell it.
@scruss
I had it kicked into me in my English classes; I was get and got act a a shorthand that removes the information from the verb.
'get me a sandwich'... Is that
- pass me an extant sandwich we have here
-retrieve a sandwich from where the sandwiches come from
-buy me a sandwich
-steal a sandwich for me
- discover for me the thing called 'sandwich'
Etc
