Comment (by dawesi):

 Should we rename word press as some sites don't use words but only have
 pictures, or just an api?

 Can we also change Word--press because press is discriminatory to people
 who dont like things that violently push things into others (aka press).

 Wordpress logo is blue, when men prefer and women don't so it should be
 pink?

 Any other nutjobs with low self esteem want to read 'NOTHING' into
 something, then pretend it's ok to butcher copyright?

 The think we can change a song words (illegal), but still run this on PHP,
 because the architecture already isn't slow? Please hire people who love
 programming, so they can ignore illegal changes like this.
