Editorial

How we check things.

Not good intentions — the rules we actually hold ourselves to, so you can trust what you read here.

No invented flags
A flag is only shown when its stripes come from a source we can point at. Where none exists, the page says the flag is undocumented.
No hand-typed counts
Every number on this site is computed from the underlying data. If an entry is unpublished, no count claims it.
Closed words stay closed
Cultural gender terms that belong to specific peoples are documented so they are not misused, and never offered as a test result.
No celebrity examples
We do not label real people. Nobody's identity is used as an illustration of a term.
Gaps are declared
A missing section reads as missing. We do not pad an entry with filler to make it look complete.
Ads stay away from hard pages
The test, your result, this page and anything about the hard days carry no advertising at all.
