Comment on Why don’t brands make simpler names?

also btw, I’ve been thinking of trying to restructure and un-confuse the names of things with terrible naming schemes and pitch them to manufacturers. Is that a good idea? (maybe not the pitching to manufacturer part since they probably won’t listen)

How do you deal with any other languages aside from English? Even if a product is destined for an English only market (which let’s be honest are basically small toys with English on them and English language books), anyone manufacturing will likely be using components manufactured in multiple different countries, with different languages and different ways of structuring names etc.
This is basically how you used to get Chinglish names and instructions for stuff on cheap products from China
If you want to see the outcome of what your currently suggesting, lookup longest car names, there’s a lot more English in them, as well as abbreviations yet they’re still a mess to understand/interpret from a layman’s perspective

fair, using more words doesn’t really solve the issue.
