single word requests - Near-universally applicable alternative to "sanity check"
The phrase "sanity check" is ableist language as it implies that there is something wrong with people who have mental illnesses and the word "sanity" has been used to discriminate against such people. Therefore, it should should be avoided. What is a better alternative in the context of software?
Example usage:
_: if this is not what it should be, we have memory corruption (a fatal error) and should terminate the program.
