    Conscious Language edits

    I'd like to request from admin edits of older puzzles for conscious language. Since many words were once "acceptable" but are slurs, they have been removed from usage, and I found the use of a slur in #145948503 jarring. I believe I've skipped puzzles before for this as well. Thanks for looking into it.

    I have no idea how to check the number of the puzzle referred to above, but if it is the one I think it might be, I tend to agree. I'm going to be explicit with my comments. The puzzle that I am thinking of refers to a team named the Indians. I get that in the United States there are still teams with names like this, despite the fact that the term is acknowledged, in general, as a racial slur. However, in Canada we simply no longer use this term and I also find this puzzle jarring and won't play the puzzle because of it. I don't know how easy it is to go back and edit a word in the puzzle, but if it is possible to do so, changing the team name to some other commonly used team name would seem appropriate.
