Hyper-text Markup Language. What a weird name for a language. I prefer English better. In fact, I believe English should be the official language of the United States.
HTTP. Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol. With these two names, and knowing that they refer to accessing files that will show you things like this entry here before you, makes me wonder why the Internet isn't called Hyper-Text Fun Land, or HTFL.
And why does everything network related have so many initials? TCP/IP, FTP, IRC, DHCP, LAN, WAN, IT, MAP, DSL, etc. Couldn't things have been so much easier if they just made up 3 letter words to name all of these things? Like yav and igs, or jir, maybe kow? Than when someone asks what it means, you can say "Hey man, yav means yav. That's what it is." Just like you were some technology hippie guru.
I guess that's what's neat about language. Different for everyone.
