Mine is OOO for Out Of Office. I always misread it in my head like a ghost and it takes me a few seconds to process. It also doesn’t translate to speech—you have to say the whole thing.
Interested to see if others have similar acronyms they beef with.
i18n I know it’s not technically an acronym but what a fucking obscure way to write a word that’s going to be constantly around non-english speakers. All the other ones in this family are also quite obnoxious but i18n is especially awful.
There’s a11y and l10n. What else is there?
Somewhat similar: k8s
Never heard of that one, what is it and when would it be used?
Internationalization, basically making your thing accessible in other languages and cultural customs (like twelve and a half being 12,5 and anything related to fucking dates).
