I was working late night on this piece of Indianization of GNU/Linux, when an unsual thought struck...
If internationalization can be reduced to i18n can Thiruvananthapuram become T16n?
(There are 16 alphabets between T and n in the city's name.)
Guess you'll excuse me for this unusual posting today. Just a bit bored with myself ;-) FN
PS: If the idea clicks, do remember who suggested it first....
