It's offensive / hurtful to some people. Just seems better not to use it
this way. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ableism#The_Pitied_Character

Are we worried that this won't be understandable by non-native speakers?

I kind of like the casual tone – FWIW.

I think we can just remove the entire sentence ("Lame."). @cphoenix-google you're welcome to make this change yourself by clicking the doc icon at the top of the page, or we can do it the next time we get a chance.

I did https://github.com/dart-lang/site-www/pull/1428 but got an error on the pull request, and I can't remember whether Googlers are or aren't supposed to sign the CLA.

@cphoenix-google I think you just need to register your GitHub account at go/github.

@cphoenix-google did you try registering your GitHub account at go/github?

Looks like this is fixed now. :)
