Re:

Run your text through a grammar linter to check how readable it is.
Tools like Grammarly help you identify grammar issues
Tools like Vale help you identify style issues.

First time I've ever come across this word. Might not translate well?

Perhaps we can link the word to its Wikipedia article. That not only will gloss it, it will make the definition available in multiple languages.

I'd hesitate to drop it, because it connects with developer experience and the metaphor is witty. (And, unlike humor generally, it'll stay witty to those who need to look it up.)

I agree this is the correct approach. Particularly as we list two grammar linters directly below the offending line.

@camerons @jaredmorgs I think this issue can be closed. Looks like #109 fixed it.
