Is the abbreviation some sort of satire?
I hate to start the discussion with something other than the content, but who okays this sort of random, unprofessional, confusing naming scheme.
- skybrian 4y agoI only skimmed, but I believe they are using "normals" in a technical sense: vectors normal surfaces of some sort.
- DiggyJohnson 4y agoI’m referring to the omission of the “H” in the abbreviation. Satire wasn’t the correct word choice looking back on it.

I don't see anything even vaguely resembling satire in it. > I hate to start the discussion with something other than the content, If you really hage doing it, it's easy enough to avoid. > who okays this sort of random, unprofessional, confusing naming scheme. There is nothing random (seems rather intentional), unorofessional, of confusing about the naming scheme. It has a simple descriptive name, and shorter acronym derived from the name. The acronym is an initialism, one of the more common kinds, but isn't an initialism using every word of the full name, instead leaving out the second word of a two-word noun phrase leaving the phrase represented by the first letter of the first word. Not all that unusual.
