Could we just name things functionally+unique?
Functionally as in categories of what they do.
Example:
Oscalc. O: Office; S: Spreadsheet; Calc: Name of application.
There's no reason to stick to only one name, Oscalc in English could be XyCalc in another language.
And no reason why something with many functionalities could not be in more than one place, PvVLC could be ArVLC too plus deep linked to the recording function when called as such.
Then we could, name things how we liked, know what they do and where they are instantly, and get using them for what we want to do even faster.
- user_named 4y agoIt's bizarre that you think this would work, and more so that it would work universally for every language.
- majewsky 4y ago> PvVLC What does the "Pv" in this even mean? "Playback video"? That does not line up with your other examples. Is the first letter a verb or a noun? What about the second letter? You see how this proposal falls apart once you look at it for more than a second?
