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

@mothcompute "...and you're sure it's not spelled 'l3::3t'?"

@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."

@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.]

@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”

[flippac@types.pl]

@mothcompute ...it should probably count as technical given its specificity to a single church though!
