A clever-clever way of writing Internationalization, based on some poor tired sap’s realization that, after typing the initial “I”, he had a long, dreary string of 18 letters to type before he could hit the final “n”.
He snapped.
It stuck.
And, over the years, far more time and energy has been spent explaining the expression to people who (quite reasonably) don’t know what it means and can’t figure it out just by looking at it than has been saved by typing two digits instead of eighteen letters.
