(4) Thu Jul 15 2004 13:45 Amazing Abbreviations:

In the style of I18N, L10N, etc. I will now refer to "authentication" as A14N and "authorization" as A13N.

Not that it has got anything to do with the above, but given that it's so difficult to spell, I suggest thus that we henceforth write "consciousness" as C11S.

And don't forget to refer to "abbreviation" as A10N. :-)

Better: "auth" and "authz".
