For some reason many people don’t get such abbreviations: I’ve created an internal library ‘i8r = imagesaver’, explained this abbreviation everywhere, and some 5 years later, as we are transitioning off of it, about 10% of users don’t call it i-eight-r.

i8r doesn't work because it isn't pronounceable like k8s is
Do people actually use k8s as k-eight-s / "kates"?

I always use that pronunciation mentally myself but never heard anyone else use it.

I personally just always use kubernetes, or just my clusters...
