      Seriously had no idea what YKK was until the Pete & Bas lyric from Gangster Shit.

        You’re downvoted to oblivion and even though I’ve heard of YKK, I completely agree.

        It pisses me off when I have to google an acronym every 2 sentences.

          How is the rest of the world supposed to track which acronyms you’ve heard of so we know which ones not to use?

          This whole argument is as fucking stupid as Felon telling his engineers to stop using jargon.

          That’s true for acronyms that are not brand names, but for ones that are — I don’t even know what that acronym means, but I get the point.

          It’s not like you would be able to expand Dolce and Gabbana, because it’s not an acronym, and it may also mean nothing for a person reading, being a brand they might not be interested in

            Then again, I’ve seen people use “DG” (Dolce & Gabbana) or “YSL” (Yves Saint Laurent). If you’re not in a perfume-and-makeup-specific-community then using these as acronyms makes zero sense.

            Again, YKK is definitely an exception because I have a feeling no one would know what the hell you’re talking about if you used “Yoshida Kōgyō Kabushikigaisha” lol

    But those aren’t the same though, I think the left one is CGI and the right is the real one. There’s no window on the left one and it looks to be made of metal while the right one has a window and looks more like some kther material painted to look like metal. There are several other differences, just look at them.
