Bad abbreviation!

September 21st, 2007 – 12:33 pm

There’s certain words that are commonly abbreviated in URLs to simplify matters. Images, in particular, have abbreviations for words like small (s, or sm), medium (m, or md, or med), large (l, or lg), thumbnail (th, or thumb, etc.), and other common attributes. One word in particular, though, is in desperate need of a change of abbreviation: standard. It’s very unnerving to stumble upon a photo of a beautiful woman in some pose (whether classy or anything but), and see “STD” in the URL at the top of the page.

Think before you abbreviate, people.
