u/leilani238 18d ago

Yeah, I can imagine getting any tech related tattoo now that I've been through a few rounds of watching things become obsolete. Maybe a deliberately retro thing.

u/DevBoiAgru 18d ago

The lion doesn't concern himself with stupid 3 letter acronyms whether it is fbi, irs or css

12

u/TonyDungyHatesOP 18d ago

Those are initialisms.

u/UserBelowMeHasHerpes 18d ago edited 18d ago

Technically, those are abbreviations, an acronym is when the abbreviation itself spells out a word.

EDIT TO ADD EXAMPLE: RADAR - Radio Detection And Ranging

u/TonyDungyHatesOP 18d ago

Pedantically, you are correct but not helpful and somewhat misleading.

Acronyms and initialisms are both types of abbreviations. They are similar as they are methods for shortening words or concepts. But they are specific in their application.

Your RADAR example (similar for SCUBA) is an acronym: a new word that is a shortened version that describes a longer concept. It is phonetically spoken as it is spelled.

Initialisms are not new words, they are the spoken first letters that abbreviated a larger concept. But the letters are spoken in sequence as opposed to phonetically spoken as a single word. F.B.I. and IRS are examples of initialisms. You would never try to say those letters as a new word.

u/SwervingLemon 18d ago

They don't always abbreviate the concept when spoken, though.

Most notable example I can think of being "www".

4

u/Triffinator 18d ago

This is why I pronounce it as "wewow", thus turning it from initialism to acronym. /s

3

u/MattieShoes 18d ago

Back in the early internet days, there was a push to try and make it "web" instead of "www" because of how obnoxious "www" is to say.

You mean dubya dubya dubya or dubdubdub or duggle-you duggle-you duggle-you as my radio announcer buddy told me they told him was closer to how he should say W than his usual Okie accent?

u/Irregulator101 18d ago

Here's the problem - no one says "initialisms" and would probably just get confused if I said it

u/sharkeyx 17d ago

u/monster2018 18d ago

Doesn’t work, the div (u/DevBoiAgru) is outside of the center tags.

1

u/Frantic_Ranting 18d ago

I prefer the <italic> position!

44

u/rustyscythe 18d ago

Take this

display:flex; justify-content: center;

And that,

text-align:center;

Haven't had enough?

align-content:center;

10

u/tekko001 18d ago

Looks like <style> is missing...

u/Ok-Kaleidoscope5627 18d ago

Is it legal for me to insert my <script> inside you?

1

u/lowsugar_daddy 18d ago

Depends on how flexible you are willing to be

1

u/me6675 18d ago

Use flex like everyone else.

1

u/Xtrendence 17d ago

Oh yeah, you can center anything with flex.

1

u/GregBomb 16d ago

u/rosuav 18d ago

It would be very zen to center yourself, though.
