I was writing from the point of view of someone who finds Unix abbreviations perfectly acceptable (as compared to my comically abrogated SmallTalk &#x2F; Objective-C (I don&#x27;t even know which) invocation above (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10990803" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10990803</a>), which I&#x27;d say is clearly not acceptable).  Certainly, my argument will not be convincing to someone who doesn&#x27;t share that point of view.
