So i was going to name my program i'm working on "cuervo" but various eastern europeans said don't do that it sounds like polish "kurwa" which is apparently a very rude word. So I decided instead I'd go with the name "corvo", and ran a poll and people liked "corvo" much better, but then I heard from the eastern europeans that that sounds even MORE like kurwa. So maybe now I'm back to my original plan of naming the international version "cuervo" and releasing a polish version named "kruk"

@mcc you might be amused by the diminutives (kruczek[1], kruczątko -- this word seems to have surprisingly few of them) and to know that biały kruk (white crow) means a rare old book.

[1] which also means fine print or gotcha

@robryk *squeaking* you have to look out for the little crows
