# Rules ## Pattern types ###### Basic **Basic** patterns highlight possible inconsiderate terms and suggest potentially more considerate alternatives. ###### Or **Or** patterns highlight possible inconsiderate terms unless every category is present and `binary` is on. This is used for gendered work titles such as `garbageman and garbagewoman`, or stuff like `his or her bike`. Normally these are treated as basic patterns, but you can pass `binary: true` to allow them. **Or** patterns can be joined by `and`, `or`, or a slash (`/`). ## List of Rules | id | type | not ok | ok
