Personal pet peeve but IMO ‘ID’ is a bad example because it is an abbreviation, not an acronym. I generally recommend ‘Id’ but I’ll admit, it’s like a tabs/spaces debate.
‘UI’ may be a better example :)
- Andrex 3y agoWhoah, I never thought about that. You're totally right, "ID" should really be "Id."

- IIsi50MHz 3y agoAlthough, I admit "ID" has kinda become a word in its own right, in my usage. An attribute ID is not, in my mind, its "identity" (and certainly not any kind of document), but a way of referring to it…and hopefully locally unique.
- tyleo 3y agoInteresting. In my mind an id is an identity. I think of ids as ‘what distinguishes and object uniquely from other objects’.
