Japanese designer Yasuhiro Suzuki created a giant zipper-shaped boat that gives the illusion of unzipping the water as it moves.

Not YKK?
It’s rude to use uncommon abbreviations without defining them at least once.

You’re downvoted to oblivion and even though I’ve heard of YKK, I completely agree.

It pisses me off when I have to google an acronym every 2 sentences.

That’s true for acronyms that are not brand names, but for ones that are — I don’t even know what that acronym means, but I get the point.

It’s not like you would be able to expand Dolce and Gabbana, because it’s not an acronym, and it may also mean nothing for a person reading, being a brand they might not be interested in

Then again, I’ve seen people use “DG” (Dolce & Gabbana) or “YSL” (Yves Saint Laurent). If you’re not in a perfume-and-makeup-specific-community then using these as acronyms makes zero sense.

Again, YKK is definitely an exception because I have a feeling no one would know what the hell you’re talking about if you used “Yoshida Kōgyō Kabushikigaisha” lol

Oh, Yoshida Kōgyō Kabushikigaisha?

I love those zipper they have the smoothest action out there.
