Yes it’s awful, “A eleven Y” or is it “A one one Y” Is stupid, inaccessible and the people who use it and came up with it should feel bad.

a11y is similar to Andreessen Horowitz => a16z in that there’s exactly 16 letters in between the first letter and the last.

Seems like good acronym semantics no?

That's not what semantics or acronym mean, this is more of an inside joke, which isn't great.
