i really wish they would say "the .net standard" rather than just ".net standard". missing that prefixed article is confusing for someone not in the ecosystem (or me at least).

even better would be "specification" rather than "standard", the later being a word frequently used to indicate a particular version of some thing.

Totally fair. The original name was ".NET Standard Library" but we were too lazy so we shortened it to just ".NET Standard", which then ended up becoming the product name.
