The C standard library's naming convention is so aggressively vowel-averse that it's genuinely indistinguishable from Welsh place names. Functions like mbsrtowcs (multibyte string to wide character string), strxfrm (string transform), and wcstold (wide character string to long double) look like someone spilled alphabet soup and decided to ship it as production code. The joke here is that both Welsh words and C stdlib functions share the same chaotic energy of consonant clusters that make you question if your keyboard is broken. Try pronouncing mbsrtowcs out loud without summoning an elder god. The C committee really looked at "convert multibyte string to wide character string" and thought "yeah, let's compress that into something that looks like a cat walked across the keyboard." Fun fact: Dennis Ritchie probably saved millions of bytes in documentation by keeping function names short, but at what cost to our sanity?
