Comment on Show HN: Layoutit – An interactive CSS Grid generator

This is super cool! Only sort of related, I wonder how long they stared at that name and that it had `tit` in it before they decided to go all lowercase because they thought it was funny. I can't imagine that discussion didn't happen while planning to launch this.

What's weird is that my eye sees the word `tit` before the rest of the context. I'm not a weird pervert or anything as far as I know. It actually does cut through the signal to noise in internet promo.

I would've gone with "LayItOut". No rude implications, and it's catchier/actually makes sense as a verb phrase. Also, to "lay it out" means to tell the truth, and this is a WYSIWYG editor.

Maybe they should just go full hog and make this their mascot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tit_(bird)

What about expertsexchange.com .. what do you see there ;o)
