Renaming Coq

It is misguided to ban all homonyms that offend English speakers. How would you even do it in practice?<p>1) The last name of the famous German philosopher Immanuel Kant is pronounced like &quot;cunt&quot;. How do they give a philosophy Kant course in the US?<p>2) Why do French girls have to say &quot;bit twiddling&quot; but American girls need to be protected from &quot;Coq&quot;?<p>3) The reason for the rename initiative is apparently a misunderstanding by an Uber driver when hearing the word. I&#x27;d humbly suggest not to use the word in a cab, just as you wouldn&#x27;t say &quot;I&#x27;m taking a Kant course in college&quot; in a cab. Context matters.<p>4) It is not up to Americans to eradicate European words in European projects.

The ubiquitous computing term &quot;bit&quot; means cock in French, should it be changed as well? &#x2F;s

I used to get strange looks when I&#x27;d recommend people use &#x27;The GIMP&#x27;.

I always thought it was Co-Q. I thought surely no way it was pronounced &quot;cock&quot;.<p>Welp. I think this is a good move.
