invite us over?

I'm not a native English speaker but this does not bring any value to
my ears. Worse, I don't even get the point. Better rewrite the comment
entirely than just swapping "fucking" with a random word, no?

Thanks,

Got your point , and I do understand "fuck" and "fucking" is so strong word
that it is really difficult to replace with something else.

But..but you suggestion to rewrite the comments sounds good Miquel ...wish I
could have that much time in hand to replace every sentence having that word
...all the patched sent with that word replaces...please step forward and make
and send patches .

Today I sent 10 patches replacing that word(weather that make sense or not)
you can see those in the ML ...please pick up as you wish and send patches.

I was simply replacing the word ..never bother about the meaning it
conveys..doesn't matter really.

so...

Thanks.

If you are afraid of "fucking", please replace it with "f*cking" or such.
"invite" makes no sense.

I am NOT afraid of anything ,just replacing the bad words ..that's all

There are currently 21 uses of "fuck[ing]". It's not a mountain to
climb. Nor a race.

Are you kidding? What is the purpose of a comment if no one understands
it after a blind change?

No I am not . But the sentences contains that word hardly have more meaning. But as you already said rewriting those comment would be a good idea...can you take up some of those??
