First time hearing the term a11y for me too. I hope to never come across it again.

  Wait till you hear about k8s and o11y.

    I had to Google what o11y meant... :-(

  I claim your time would be better spent figuring out why it makes you unhappy and working out how to not mind it - this is a somewhat common means of abbreviation, and you'll probably encounter it again.

    I have not seen it in the thirty five years since I learnt what FAQ meant

  It's interesting to me how almost nobody uses the `<first letter><number of letters><last letter>` (i18n, a11y, etc) convention anymore. I guess ubiquitous autocomplete has made that convention redundant.

    i18n, s13y, a11y, o11y, k8s...

    Well it was never a convention. just an in-group behavior in some incredibly small niches.

    It was always a terrible habit.

  A problem with the shortening is that, depending on the font, it looks like a four-letter word: a homonym with two meanings.
