mothguy who only knows i18n, trembling: and... this 'l33t' you speak of?
echo $(($(echo antidisestablishmentarianism | sed 's/./1+/g')0))

its 7 letters longer than the longest non-contrived, non-technical english word wikipedia lists
Frik 🏳️🌈🎗️@mothcompute first you learn how to use regex, then you learn when not to use regex. I haven't gotten to that second part either.
Caesar Rylan@mothcompute are you against the disestablishment of alonzo church and state?
Charles Eckman@TheDarkBomber @mothcompute oh this is a great pun, can I riff?
"You can prove a language is complete two ways. Functional languages, like Haskell, prove equivalence to the lambda calculus; imperative languages prove equivalence to a Turing machine. This is due to the separation of Church and state."
Philippa Cowderoy@mothcompute ...it should probably count as technical given its specificity to a single church though!

@mothcompute this might be the first time i've seen someone coubt letters with shell arithmetic AND regex
Szymon Sokół 🇵🇱🇪🇺🇺🇦@mothcompute this was a really interesting way to count characters; I will insist though that:
echo -n antidisestablishmentarianism | wc -c
is more readable…

Graham Sutherland / Polynomial@jleedev @mothcompute it's gotta be SVU. that way l33t can be shorthand for DUN DUN.

Exit Code 1@mothcompute back in my days, it was spelled 1337

Jeff GriggFirst glance I read it (roughly) as …
"A guy who knows i18n well, trembling, asks 'What is this "l10n" you speak of?' "
…
[Yes, in my experience over decades, I've seen a lot of mandated i18n that does not ever make it to l10n (beyond the base default US English). This often made me question the wisdom of it. But "the powers that be" do not accept questioning litely.]
B4 (before) we get too deep into a F2P (free to play) conversaion on c12s (communications) issues related to "numeronym" usage (abbreviations with numbers in them), I'd like to say that while I support quality software concepts of i14y (interoperability) and m12n (modularization), I have the question the cost-benefit ratio of extracting string values from code, which is i18n (internationaliztion) when there is no intention of doing l10n (localization) in any other language.

Billy O'Neal@mothcompute let us all join in flushing numeronyms down the drain where they belong. It blows my mind that the most common ones a11y and i18n are like…. the polar opposite of the topic they represent. Anyone doing accessibility or internationalization should be trying to forbid anyone from saying “a11y” or “i18n”
Peter Brett@malwareminigun I only allow “l18n” in function and class names.
Rolf Blijleven 🔻@malwareminigun I learned 'a11y' two years ago from a totally blind person on Mastodon while discussing do's and don'ts in alt text with respect to people using screenreaders, and it seems a well-established abbrev.
Only TIL "i18n" tho'.
@RolfBly @mothcompute yes it is very well established. It’s also awful and I hate it.
mathew@mothcompute Don’t forget L56h in Wales.
