Description
Your idea
The word "insane" has ableist roots, and even if it is (unfortunately) commonly used in English to create an exaggeration, it's still offensive to many disabled and neurodivergent people, because its ableist connotations are still there.
Replacing this word in the drop-down menu would be a very easy way to not make disabled and neurodivergent people uncomfortable while they use Audacity. This is also a good opportunity to express creativity by picking a word of exaggeration that's more fun!
Some personal suggestions: preposterous, unbelievable, outlandish, ludicrous, unconscionable…
All of these words get across the same idea that the audio quality is incredibly good, without using ableist language!
