@aeva
that’s the
latitude
which will henceforth be known as
thelat vs
notlat

aeva

@friedrich no friendrich it should just be longitude and shortitude, but really it's ok if they're a few letters off because nobody uses those words as variable names

Friedrich Hartmann

@aeva it’s 20 years of openstreetmap and it’s used a lat.
Also mandatory unit typing as
latdeg
londeg
latrad
lonrad

For the mnemonics:

Once you’ve seen the horizontal bar in the A of LAT like:
LAT as L—A—T
LON as LΦΝ will just feel natural

aeva

@friedrich have they considered just using X and Y

Friedrich Hartmann

@aeva yes, but for both dimensions interchangeably. 🙈

Depends if you’re coming from cartography or geodetics.
It’s our Z-axis-flip equivalent.

@aeva also my name is pronounced.

fry-the-rich hard-man-!

like in "eat the rich!"
