Sounds like a good idea in general. So will that trigger on different 
typical words and if so shall we maintain a list somewhere (so we can 
add to it and also avoid using them normally)?

I could imagine it might get annoying when we are actually using the 
channel (but let's worry about that if it becomes an issue). Is it easy 
for other people to turn it off? Can channel ops block the bot (not that 
we have ops ATM).

But most importantly, Melissa: I'd like to extend a warm welcome to the 
accessibility team. Thanks for getting involved :)
