Feel free to start that discussion if daemons and zombies bother you.

They don't bother me, it was just a joke... maybe I forgot to include an emoji at the end of the phrase

Trying to create a more welcoming environment by choosing your words
more carefully is not a "change everything or nothing" debate. I don't
see a need for a "But how far should this go?!" straw argument.

Sure, and I completely agree with this sentence, but I belive we should fix the issue with Geary and later comment the language-related topics we consider we could apply into GNOME's code.

Phrases like "Kill process or sacrifice child" bother me. They can be
rephrased and still be accurate (even if it's only "child process").
Of course you are also free to not be bothered by such phrases.
