What is a numeronym?
A numeronym abbreviates a word using its first letter, the count of letters in between, and its last letter — for example "internationalization" becomes "i18n" because there are 18 letters between the first "i" and the last "n".
Why are numeronyms used in tech?
They save space and typing effort for long, frequently-used technical terms like internationalization (i18n), localization (l10n), and accessibility (a11y).
Does this work for short words too?
Words of 3 letters or fewer are left unchanged, since a numeronym wouldn't actually shorten them.
