Also "accessibility" is abbreviated as "a11y" which I think is very charming.
And "two" and "too" both abbreviate to "t1o", which I feel does more to confuse the situation.

I’m sorry but that isn’t abbreviation, that’s straight up encryption
Edit: ok I was lost, I read the Wikipedia page and it makes sense now lol

If it's one-way and destructive, it's more like a hash value than encryption.

True, however when I wrote this I didn't know how it worked and I thought it was reversible :)
I should've seen that t1o could be two or too as well...

Wow TIL, I have been staring at
i18nfor decades and never really investigated what it meant lolqueerlilhayseed@piefed.blahaj.zone · 7 pts · 216d
haha same. I went years knowing from technical osmosis that it meant "supporting other languages" but I never knew what it represented or why it had numbers in it. There are so many acronyms in tech I think inevitably some of them fall by the wayside for everyone.

motherfucker → m10r
asshole → a5e
buttmonkey → b8y
scumbag → s5g
spankmankerjankwanker → /s(.ank(er)?)*/

I'd read b8y as "baby", so absolutely ❤ this. Was this intended, am I an idiot for not reading the others as anything?

I hate this.

Still at a loss as to what ""Sk8er Boi" is short for.

Avril didn't make it obvious enough apparently.

This is actually the least stupid example of this type of abbreviation

There is no "Boo, hiss throws tomato" button, so have an upvote instead xD

“To” becomes “t0o,” but “too” is “t1o.”
ilinamorato@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 216d
That would be...what, an ampliviation scheme? (since it's longer than the original word)
A4y, t2s i0s n1t p10y r6e a1d t3s m2h l4r t0o c5e.
doughless@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 216d
Anyway, this is not practically readable and takes much longer to compose.
(I spent way too long trying to read this, and ended up cheating on the last word.)
ilinamorato@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 216d
Whoa, that's very impressive! The only one you missed was "p10y," which is in fact "particularly." ("Practically" would be "p9y.") But honestly that's still amazing.
kate@lemmy.uhhoh.com · 2 pts · 216d
is this why transaction is tx?
Ephera@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 216d
Hmm, to my knowledge, tx generally means "transmit", as opposed to rx – "receive".
I don't think, there is much logic to it...

darn. thought i was being smart

Intrnachnliseishn. Acksessibilitii. Who cares about the letters in between. In english there is no real match between a written word and how it sounds anyway. /s

This, but unironically.
If the word is understandable, screw the spelling. Descriptivists rise up!
