No dude, you're right. Some Americans made a backroom deal to maliciously and deliberately assign cumbersome words to the topic of making more money from export sales and bum-standard customer service.
P.S. you forgot to include "l10n" for localization in your description of the conspiracy.
- caseysoftware 14y agoPsst.. in the secret meeting last week we decided to start abbreviating it as "c8y". Please update your records.
- mpyne 14y agoUnderstood, and thanks for backfilling me on the progress of our c8y. See you next week.
- dmckeon 14y agoNote that eliding the middle of some long words also avoids making a choice of Websterian or British spelling, giving us, for instance, p13n for personali{s,z}ation without having to locali{s,z}e the terminology, or to have a {flame war,frank and open discussion} over the spelling.
