Also “accessibility” is abbreviated as “a11y” which I think is very charming.
And “two” and “too” both abbreviate to “t1o”, which I feel does more to confuse the situation.
motherfucker → m10r
asshole → a5e
buttmonkey → b8y
scumbag → s5g
spankmankerjankwanker → /s(.ank(er)?)*/is this why transaction is tx?
Hmm, to my knowledge, tx generally means “transmit”, as opposed to rx – “receive”.
I don’t think, there is much logic to it…
I’m sorry but that isn’t abbreviation, that’s straight up encryption
Edit: ok I was lost, I read the Wikipedia page and it makes sense now lol
i18n: 18 stands for the number of letters between the first i and the last n in the word internationalization
What psychopath invented this nonsense? I want to send them my next therapist bill.
You mean your t7t b2l?
N0o one is happy about this.
Yeah this is total g7h…
Wow TIL, I have been staring at
i18nfor decades and never really investigated what it meant lolhaha same. I went years knowing from technical osmosis that it meant “supporting other languages” but I never knew what it represented or why it had numbers in it. There are so many acronyms in tech I think inevitably some of them fall by the wayside for everyone.
“To” becomes “t0o,” but “too” is “t1o.”
Still at a loss as to what "“Sk8er Boi” is short for.
“skateboarder”
This is actually the least stupid example of this type of abbreviation
I am so mad right now
Avril didn’t make it obvious enough apparently.
There is no “Boo, hiss throws tomato” button, so have an upvote instead xD
“Skateboarding Boiler-room.”
That would be…what, an ampliviation scheme? (since it’s longer than the original word)
A4y, t2s i0s n1t p10y r6e a1d t3s m2h l4r t0o c5e.
Anyway, this is not practically readable and takes much longer to compose.
(I spent way too long trying to read this, and ended up cheating on the last word.)
Whoa, that’s very impressive! The only one you missed was “p10y,” which is in fact “particularly.” (“Practically” would be “p9y.”) But honestly that’s still amazing.
