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