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

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

@malwareminigun I only allow “l18n” in function and class names.

@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'.

@mothcompute this was a really interesting way to count characters; I will insist though that:
echo -n antidisestablishmentarianism | wc -cis more readable…

@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.

@RolfBly @mothcompute yes it is very well established. It’s also awful and I hate it.
