  • [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

Claude uses the word "carry" instead of "has" or any other normal word, constantly. Every sentence has the word "carry" in it. Your own changelog reports are infected with numerous instances of both "carry" and "bare," being used abnormally and annoyingly. Please remove the words "carry" and "bare" from the lexicon, to save everyone's sanity.

What Should Happen?

Use normal English instead
