Smart to put IDELAND and IEELAND next to each other so the programmers and electrical engineers can work closely together.
There’s a first time for everything I guess
First time since the 70s, I suppose. Though there weren’t IDEs then.
I don’t even work together with other programmers
Unpair Programming FTW!
This means we can extrapolate the location of Izeland.
After that there’s Jaeland.
So you’re saying any word in the latin alphabet can be projected onto this map. The fabled land of Icecream is on this very map. We could do so much with this technology.
Why is there an added U in Iqueland?
Because you always put U after Q silly.
Qantas qat and qaid being a few rare exceptions. (Qantas is technically an a abbreviation though.)
Qantas is actually an acronym
Good point. It’s both.
I had to DDG that one.
“… an acronym is a specific type of abbreviation formed from the first letters of a multi-word term, name, or phrase, with those letters pronounced together as one term. OPEC—or the O(rganization of) P(etroleum) E(xporting) C(ountries)—is an acronym because we pronounce it as one word, oh-pek.”
Huh, interesting. In my mind an abbreviation was either a truncation or maybe a portmanteau. Didn’t think it was an accurate description of acronyms or initialisms.
Also I said ‘actually’ in my response, please forgive me. I had an upwards lilt in my head voice which would have negated any condescension in person, but on reading what I said, I just came across as a regular, pedant fuckwit.
No worries at all. Both are words I hardly every use, and I was happy to be corrected if I was wrong.
The written word can be misinterpreted easily since it doesn’t easily carry the audible nuances of the spoken word, or the visual cues of the speaker. We’re always learning hey.
please just use “search”
Qatar
Qi
yeah that’s why it took me longer to figure out
I may be stupid but I don’t understand what this image is trying to communicate to me. It just looks like a line between two islands with a bunch of nonsensical words to me.
Its Iceland-> Ireland but working its way through the alphabet for the second letter, so d,e,f,g,h… etc.
I see… but I still don’t get the joke.
It’s like saying Austria and Australia have similar names you but just gotta change the letters a bit.
Youre overthinking it. Thats the joke. Its funny because its a silly proposal of how it got named
To be fair, the oz version does appear to have potential
But using us abbreviated state names…

It is now and you don’t get to change it.
Well it is one, isn’t it?
I prefer SataLand myself
Iqueland is very scenic.
Ijeland … aka … Atlantis in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean
I knew it!
Makes sense!
