  On the settings page, you say this.

  <i>Unfortunately, you have to manually update this for Daylight Savings Time. Lame, we know, but will be fixed in the future.</i>

  Really, guys… could you lose the word, “lame.” It wouldn’t take much effort to do it, and it would save a bit of grief for people with disabilities who get a bit tired of constantly hearing versions of the idea that have a disability makes them a bad person.

  How about saying:

  “Unfortunately, you have to manually update this for Daylight Savings Time. <b>Pathetic</b>, we know, but will be fixed in the future.”

  Thank you.

  Really, <strong>guys</strong>... could you lose the word, "lame."

  Please, try not to use sexist terminology.
