hi i'm a software engineer and i worked in the web for a good 8 years before i ever realized what the abbreviations i18n and l10n (internationalization and localization) stood for
literally i knew what they were *about*, but thought the numbers had something to do with some funky standards body or some shit
numeronyms of this form are bad so so so so bad don't
just
don't
@tcql I hate those! It's like, I'm never conscious of exactly how many letters are in a word, so how am I gonna know what this means.
Even something like loc'n and int'n would be so much better
@ZoeyDoesntToot @tcql I really like those contractions
@tcql they're by far the w3t k2d of a10n
