A numeronym is a word abbreviated with a number. The common style keeps the first and last letters and replaces the letters in between with their count.

What do i18n, l10n, a11y and k8s stand for?

i18n is internationalization, l10n is localization, a11y is accessibility and k8s is Kubernetes.

Why is it k8s and not k9s?

The number counts only the letters between the first and last: Kubernetes has 10 letters, so 10 - 2 = 8.

About Numeronym Generator

It converts every word in a sentence while keeping punctuation and spacing, shows a per-word breakdown, and also turns the whole input into a single numeronym. Words shorter than a minimum length you set are left unchanged.
