I’m just stating my opinion that I find these abbreviations annoying, yes. They are so unintuitive that unless someone explicitly calls out what it’s abbreviating, you probably wouldn’t pick up on it (e.g. the MDN page for Accessibility) and just leaves people confused (like me!). I suspect there’s a reason AccessKit isn’t named `a11yKit`

Didn't we just have a thread the other day about the meaning of "MDN" - which also many people didn't know.
I see on this site "IMO" "FWIW" "IANAL" "TLDR" all the time. You generally can't tell what these mean either without looking them up or just knowing already because of them being so engrained in culture.
No it’s not the same, a11y creates a dissonance in the mind because part if it wants to see it as “ally”, the other part wants to see it as “A eleven Y” and the other part cringes and thinks its stupid.
If you can't tell a 1 apart from an L...
