It stands for accessibility. That's how you say it. Count the letters.

We know what it stands for. It’s not uncommon for people to say and use shortened versions of words.

Oh ok sorry, I've never said "ally" or "I 18 N", so I thought everybody just said accessibility and Internationalization (god that's a long word) out loud.

I’ve definitely heard people say “eye-18-en”, so that’s why we’re all confused! It looks like the word “ally”, but “aye-11-why” also seems like it works too. We need an expert here haha!
