A Proposal for Proquints: Identifiers that are Readable, Spellable, and Pronounceable
Daniel Shawcross Wilkerson · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2009
Identifiers (IDs) are pervasive throughout our modern life. We suggest that these IDs would be easier to manage and remember if they were easily readable, spellable, and pronounceable. As a solution to this problem we propose using PRO-nouncable QUINT-uplets of alternating unambiguous consonants and vowels: _proquints_.
