You're not alone. I've never seen this before either. Look, when you're writing an article about programming, stick to spelling things out properly. It's ok to use acronyms when talking about companies (AT&T, IBM), nations (USA, USSR), or long technical terms as long as you define them early in the document so the reader knows what to expect. Programming docs should explicitly refer to code in the language being discussed. Array.prototype.sort tells me exactly what you're talking about and my brain doesn't have to make mental leaps to understand what is being said. If its a language I'm not familiar with, like Objective C for example, then I probably will want to copy and search on code being demoed to learn about it. This would be very hard to do if I have to translate your custom abbreviations into the terminology everyone else in the world uses. Keep it simple and succinct. |
