Challenge

Some foes of the French classical language are trying to impose to the people a new way of writing (called inclusive writing (IE)). It spreads quickly. Hence, this little project is sort of a weapon against the spreading of this inclusive writing. The inclusive writing mainly adds dots and suffixes in the middle of regular words. Hence the syntax of the “banned strings”.

Solution

This Gmail add-on checks incoming emails for those bad strings and notifies the sender of the denial. Those messages are moved to the user's desired label. The add-on allows users to create a list of email addresses from which they want to receive emails, even if they contain the bad strings.

French Inclusive Writing Inspector Add-on is available on Google Workspace Marketplace. Give it a try!
