Camille already gives a friendly nudge if you say "hey guys" or "thanks guys." This feature could be expanded to include ableist terms, especially regarding mental health. Some examples include:

  • crazy
  • insane
  • sane (some contexts?)
  • schizophrenic/schizophrenia
  • OCD (used colloquially to mean detail-oriented, but it would be hard to separate from legit discussions)
  • that's mental
  • that's mad
  • bonkers
  • wacko
  • sanity check

I'm not sure what kind of word stemming or searching would need to happen in order to avoid too many false positives 🤔
