You see it happen on HN often because of title length limits.
- dang 6y agoNot so often. Looks like 9 cases of AMZN in the last year compared to over 3000 for Amazon. Incidentally, abbreviations are not a good way to work around HN's title limit. The idea is to find a shorter meaningful title, not to use tricks to squeeze more in. This is nearly always possible.
- xenocyon 6y agoYes, that was my only reason for employing the abbreviation. In any case, it appears that the mods have chosen to switch out the title with a different one (my original carried an excerpt from the job posting which is now removed).
