@darius i'm not sure I agree that nice people go around calling things dumb because of the word toot, but I'm not willing to die on this hill either. I understand the motivations and support for it and still mourn the conditions that make it desirable.
@djsundog (I guess the other thing that I haven't brought up elsewhere because it might be just me that feels this way: "toot" feels like corporate branding to me! Specifically because it's cute and different. Same with the whole elephant mascot thing. It is off-putting precisely because it feels like it's trying to be a marketable brand)
