> I full well know will offend the sensibilities of some who will use it
How could you possibly know this, where do you draw the line?
For something people, "Hacker News" is surely offensive because "hacker" is generally thought of as a negative term (Yes, I know our meaning, others generally don't).
GitHub could also be offensive to some, "git" after all is as much of a swear-word as "fck".
An early-90s textbook I read about encryption said that some people were disgusted hearing the word 'decrypt' for the first time because a crypt is a place where dead bodies were stored. They suggested (to those offended) to use the word cipher instead ;)
