The truthy/falsey assertions are nice, but I wince every time I'm forced to write "falsey" as "falsy" 😛

"Falsey" has the advantage of being the same length as/aligning with "truthy" e.g.:

t.falsey(error)
t.truthy(result)

As mentioned here, both spellings are widely used, so it would be nice to support both.

Sorry, not going to happen. We intentionally don't have any aliases.

I would recommend using eslint-plugin-ava which will catch incorrect usage live in your editor. We could even auto-fix it: avajs/eslint-plugin-ava#190

See #114 (comment) and https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Falsy
