Er, can you be more specific? I am not seeing many "false or improper
answers" here.

In any case, these strings are not the most problematic I've seen in
gaim. There are some strings that are much worse, ones that I do not
understand after asking in #gaim, searching in Google, even reading
the standards; in contrast, many of these strings in the survey are
either obvious jokes or simple jargon.
