I was thinking the same thing, thanks for taking the hit for us.
Comment on I blew the whistle on workplace abuses at ZA/UM. In return, ZA/UM tried to defame me.

They themselves don’t even say what it stands for on the front of their webpage, so I guess they want to be known by that. Hey, you’re allowed to be called what you want.
Still feels weird to me, but I am stopping my judgement.
Also, my apologies to OP.

On Wikipedia it says it is a name of a Russian constructed language
“Kurvitz established the ZA/UM team to create the game, using the name “za um”, a reference to the Zaum constructed language created by Russian avant-garde poets in the early 1900s. Its name can be read in Russian as a shortcut for the idiom взяться за ум (vzyat’sya za um), which is similar to the English idea of bootstrapping. The use of all-capitals and the slash symbol is to present the team as “something that definitely exists and weighs eight tonnes”.”
