However, this beta is the attribute of "test" anyway. When did it become the central word of "test"?
Here I make a bold guess:
Because the version that most people see is already a public beta version, there will always be the word beta. Some people don't know what it means and mistakenly think that beta is a test. Whenever you want to show that this is a beta, you should bring a beta. However, there are always closed beta/internal beta and open beta. Ok, then add an attribute, so there are closed beta and open beta.
The more I think about it, the worse it gets. ...
Maybe that person will say, my god, how do I know the terms alpha, beta and gamma in software development engineering? I believe it's hard for users to know, right? Well, that's true, but it's easy to understand by writing CB and OB? I, a software developer, don't understand ...
I don't know what are so many inexplicable abbreviations in the world! Why not write the original intention clearly? Are the words internal test and public test very laborious compared with CB and OB? Some Chinese input methods, you have to press Shift to switch modes, which will only be more troublesome. Do you have to write a lot of abbreviations and nouns that others can't understand to show your knowledge? Of course, it is also possible that I think too much and try to be a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Everything in the world is reasonable when it exists.
Well, if everyone thinks it is reasonable, I have to admit it. However, it is really inconvenient and embarrassing. Especially this inexplicable abbreviation.
Similarly, there is that PK.
As far as I know, PK should first appear in UO, the originator of word online games. I remember reading a magazine in high school, which explained that it was a player black boy, that is, a player who attacked other players in the game.
I think this abbreviation is reasonable, because it is difficult to express a player who will attack other players, and there is no proper noun to express it well. PK expresses this meaning well, so this abbreviation is very successful.
Slowly, someone began to say, "I was PK again yesterday ..." At such a time, it seems that this original intention has changed. But if you think about it carefully, you can understand it as a verb similar to player -Kill. However, I don't understand the so-called PK in the super girl that everyone is familiar with now.
"You two PK…… ..."
"What is PK?"
"……"
It's hard to explain.
I have to admit that in today's world, people's ability to complete knowledge and information is being tested more and more. ...
