Ask HN: How do you think of some Chinese call HTML5 'H5'

2 pointsby djydealmost 10 years ago
Many people in China call HTML5 &#x27;H5&#x27; and it had cause some heated discussion. Some people (developer) think H5 is non-professional, the other think it just a short name for HTML5.<p>How do you think of it?

I&#x27;ve been calling it &quot;Susan&quot;. I didn&#x27;t realize there were rules about these things.

Honestly, saying &quot;H5&quot; makes it sound like you don&#x27;t know what you&#x27;re talking about.<p>It&#x27;s like calling HTML a programming language.

For some people it would be confusing with the current html tag &lt;h5&gt;. There&#x27;s no name conflict in the case of JS (javascript). I think this is all about preferences. Human languages, as programming languages, are evolving. I don&#x27;t see any problem with the case of calling html5 H5.
