Apologies for the swearing.
One of the things I hate the most is writing dull messages for things I am testing so I just start writing stupid things.
What do people use for dummy content? And do you get bored?

I like to keep my messages short, like ‘here’, ‘yes’, ‘no’, ‘done’ etc. Saves time typing when using my one and a half fingers.
Actually writing good error and test messages can save you and your user a lot of time later on.
So it is pretty important to have it right.
This is a good reading on the topic:
That is true George. But I thought that Jon was talking when testing for own use.
Even for own usage I try to put some meaning in the message or unique text at least , otherwise I end up with some generic yes, no, or just variable output and wonder where that came from.
And what a risk it is to overlook one of them when the site goes live!
Well actually this is a branch that will never get to production. It lives in my machine and will never get to remote. It’s just a branch to mess around.
I got in trouble once or twice with my swearing messages like you use, by forgetting later down the line that I had added something like that, so now i use normal stuff. haha.
I can just imagine!
