EddieBot: Bot does not flag 'guyz'

I think it’s time to start thinking of rolling our own or getting another library. We can’t depend on alex.js or retext for things like this. The response in the PR from @musavveer - The maintainer stated it’s for documentation not chat.

Huh, so it’s fine to have “Bruh” in documentation? 🤔

@Vyvy-vi I would prefer that somebody would use bruh in documentation so I can do my technical due diligence quicker and say no to a project 😉

I suggest in the config having something like this…

{
   wordAlternatives: {
      guyz: "guys"
   }
}

Then if someone uses guyz, it can trigger AlexJS with guys

I would like to work on it

@musavveer @adithyapaib Yes, don’t be disheartened by @wooorm’s message here. It is a great idea to create an issue on GH, submit a PR TO the upstream dependency you work on because everyone can benefit.

I do agree with @wooorm’s message over here https://github.com/retextjs/retext-equality/pull/109 however definitely would say that this is actually the right thing to do but the retext project is not exactly something inline with bots as @AllanRegush has already covered.

Yeah

Any update @musavveer ?

Hi @musavveer 😃, I’ll assign you this issue 👍
