Hi, English isn’t my mother tongue so I was asking myself that question since I first encounted a w/… Back then I was like: “What tf does ‘w slash’ stand for?” And when I found out I was like “How, why, and is it any intuitive?” But I never dared to ask that until now

    In programmer lingo we’ll sometimes shorten words with the number of letters in between:

    i18n (internationalization) and L10n (localization). I just learned of g11n (globalization), too.
