I think a more apt argument to make is that "text-color" means absolutely pig latin to those who don't speak English.
Their line of thought would be "Type 'text-color' to change the font size." (in their language, obviously) and it would be perfectly logical both from human and computer perspectives.
- williamcotton 3y agoVery good point! I guess for English natives the insight would be in Japanese, "text color" is テキストカラー (tekisuto karā), and "font size" is フォントサイズ (fonto saizu). テキストカラー: 20px; vs フォントサイズ: 20px;
- Dalewyn 3y agoThat's just literally transcribing English to Japanese using katakana, to be fair. Actual Japanese for text color would be "文書の色" (bunsho no iro) and font size would be "文字の大きさ" (moji no ookisa), and variants thereof. So a Japanese dev who doesn't speak English would think: "文字の大きさを設定するために「text-color」と入力する。" and it would, again, make logical sense from both human and computer perspectives.
