Smart to put IDELAND and IEELAND next to each other so the programmers and electrical engineers can work closely together.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's a first time for everything I guess

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

First time since the 70s, I suppose. Though there weren’t IDEs then.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don’t even work together with other programmers

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Unpair Programming FTW!

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

This means we can extrapolate the location of Izeland.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

After that there's Jaeland.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

So you're saying any word in the latin alphabet can be projected onto this map. The fabled land of Icecream is on this very map. We could do so much with this technology.

Why is there an added U in Iqueland?

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because you always put U after Q silly.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Qantas qat and qaid being a few rare exceptions. (Qantas is technically an a abbreviation though.)

Qantas is actually an acronym

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Good point. It's both.

I had to DDG that one.

"... an acronym is a specific type of abbreviation formed from the first letters of a multi-word term, name, or phrase, with those letters pronounced together as one term. OPEC—or the O(rganization of) P(etroleum) E(xporting) C(ountries)—is an acronym because we pronounce it as one word, oh-pek."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Huh, interesting. In my mind an abbreviation was either a truncation or maybe a portmanteau. Didn't think it was an accurate description of acronyms or initialisms.

Also I said 'actually' in my response, please forgive me. I had an upwards lilt in my head voice which would have negated any condescension in person, but on reading what I said, I just came across as a regular, pedant fuckwit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

No worries at all. Both are words I hardly every use, and I was happy to be corrected if I was wrong.

The written word can be misinterpreted easily since it doesn't easily carry the audible nuances of the spoken word, or the visual cues of the speaker. We're always learning hey.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

please just use “search”

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

yeah that's why it took me longer to figure out

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I may be stupid but I don't understand what this image is trying to communicate to me. It just looks like a line between two islands with a bunch of nonsensical words to me.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Its Iceland-> Ireland but working its way through the alphabet for the second letter, so d,e,f,g,h... etc.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I see.. but I still don't get the joke.

It's like saying Austria and Australia have similar names you but just gotta change the letters a bit.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Youre overthinking it. Thats the joke. Its funny because its a silly proposal of how it got named

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To be fair, the oz version does appear to have potential

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

But using us abbreviated state names...

Iqueland is very scenic.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I prefer SataLand myself

Ijeland ... aka ... Atlantis in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean

I knew it!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Makes sense!
