EMPLOYEES! PLEASE STOP USING “anal” AS VARIABLE NAMES!

    EMPLOYEES! PLEASE STOP USING "anal" AS VARIABLE NAMES!
    
    Dear employees of Microsoft,
    
    It has come to my attention that the word "anal" is used excessively as a shorthand for variables such as "analyze" or "analysis." Although I respect you guys for coming up with short and easy-to-remember variable names, I very much oppose having bad words in our codebase since it displeases our investors. This is just a short message to inform everyone that this is very unacceptable and all instances of "anal" must be changed to something appropriate throughout the entire codebase or serious trouble will soon arrive. I am not going to tolerate seeing any more bad words in all of our scripts unless special permission is given, so figure it out.
    
    Sincerely,
    Jeff bezos
