Rules

Pattern types

Basic

Basic patterns highlight possible inconsiderate terms and suggest potentially more considerate alternatives.

Or

Or patterns highlight possible inconsiderate terms unless every category is present and binary is on. This is used for gendered work titles such as garbageman and garbagewoman, or stuff like his or her bike. Normally these are treated as basic patterns, but you can pass binary: true to allow them.

Or patterns can be joined by and, or, or a slash (/).
