guy who only knows i18n, trembling: and... this 'l33t' you speak of?

@mothcompute

First 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.
