[Notepad-plus-plus] notepad++ 6.5.5 why is there swear words in the binary file?

[William M]

hi all,

I opened the exe for notepadd++, and it seems to have various swear words in the file:

like s.h.i.t,
and various crude jokes / puns.


I would like to know if the people making npp know this, and if it is a general concensus of the culture
of the npp development community? (not that I am error free myself btw)



thanks
William.

For anyone interested, he's referring to the quotes in
Notepad_plus.cpp Starting near 5242

http://svn.tuxfamily.org/viewvc.cgi/notepadplus_repository/trunk/PowerEditor/src/Notepad_plus.cpp?revision=1216&view=markup#5242

My C is rusty, but a quick path tracing, it looks like these show up on one
of the about page modals
