I prefer broken_english to engrish. The latter plays a bit too much into negative stereotypes.

i assumed you mistyped and meant engrish going into broken_english? cause rn broken_english is being aliased to engrish

Not to mention, it plays into a specific stereotype, that being bad English on the part of a Japanese speaker; hence the 'r' instead of an 'l'. I agree, 'broken_english' would be a better tag for this.

I was saying I prefer the term 'broken english' to the term 'engrish' for the final tag name.

ooo misunderstood will change it

About the

create alias engrish (992) -> broken_english (123) # has blocking transitive relationships, cannot be applied through BUR

part in your BUR, the problem is that a tag can't be aliased away via BUR if anything is aliased or implied to it or if it implies anything. Engrish has bad_grammar aliased to it and itself implies english_text.
However, this BUR already takes care of that and needs to be passed before the one above can go through.

That's correct. You'd have to either use a plain, old alias request or if you need to use BURs, unimply and unalias everything implying and aliased to/from the tag you want to alias away in an initial BUR, then alias the tag away in a follow-up BUR (with all the implications and aliases remade to follow the new order of tags).
