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.
Wow TIL, I have been staring at i18n for decades and never really investigated what it meant lol
haha 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.

I hate this.
Still at a loss as to what “"Sk8er Boi” is short for.
“Skateboarding Boiler-room.”
motherfucker → m10r
asshole → a5e
buttmonkey → b8y
buttmonkey → b8y
I’d read b8y as “baby”, so absolutely ❤ this.
“To” becomes “t0o,” but “too” is “t1o.”
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…
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.” But honestly that’s still amazing.

I’m sorry but that isn’t abbreviation, that’s straight up encryption
