"lat" and "lng"

[philipeachille]

We should change the list to what Leaflet.js is using

https://leafletjs.com/reference.html#latlng

[kisvegabor]

Are there other sources that suggest "lng" for "longitude"? E.g it's not listed here at all https://www.abbreviations.com/abbreviation/longitude

[T1xx1]

I prefer "long".

[philipeachille]

Leaflet, Mapbox, Google and I guess many others are using "lat, lng"

[kisvegabor]

I've search on it in Google like this:

long: 40M results

lon: 5M results

lng: 2M results

---

It suggests that "lng" is the least used.

[T1xx1]

I suggest add all of them with yellow for "lng" and "lon".

[kisvegabor]

MY suggestion about yellow was that there should be max 1 yellow to have clear suggestion.

[T1xx1]

Lol, sorry I meant red. Yellow are for those ones that have a context. They don't.

[philipeachille]

I really still suggest to use "lat" and "lng", both green, and ignore all other options.

This is a Google Places API response:

"geometry": { "location": { "lat": -33.866489, "lng": 151.1958561 },

Plus, as I said, leaflet.js and mapbox - probably the largest mapping libraries - use these also.

I'm open to it, if we find enough evidence for that it's the most standard. But let's discuss the new words once the refactoring is finished.

[T1xx1]

Should I start refactoring the code?

[philipeachille]

yea, first refactor and then do 1 issue, followed by one 1 pr per abbrev

[kisvegabor]

Which code do you mean? :slightly_smiling_face:

I meant refactoring the README to reflect the new ideas and plans.

[T1xx1]

Isn't a markdown file a non-executable type of code?

BTW, yes the README.

[kisvegabor]

Isn't a markdown file a non-executable type of code?

It can be, I guess :slightly_smiling_face: I wasn't sure what you mean by code. (it could refer to the pearl script too)

[T1xx1]

No, that's part of #25.
