Are numeronyms case-sensitive?

Numeronyms typically preserve the case of the first and last letters. "Kubernetes" becomes "K8s" (capital K, lowercase s), maintaining the original word's capitalization pattern.

JavaScript Numeronym Generator:

function generateNumeronym(word, minLength = 4) {
    // Remove whitespace and validate
    const cleanWord = word.trim();
    if (cleanWord.length < minLength) {
        return cleanWord; // Too short for numeronym
    }
    
    // Extract first letter, middle count, last letter
    const firstLetter = cleanWord[0];
    const lastLetter = cleanWord[cleanWord.length - 1];
    const middleCount = cleanWord.length - 2;
    
    return `${firstLetter}${middleCount}${lastLetter}`;
}

// Batch processing function
function batchGenerateNumeronyms(text, minLength = 4) {
    return text.split(/\s+/)
        .map(word => ({
            original: word,
            numeronym: generateNumeronym(word, minLength)
        }))
        .filter(item => item.original !== item.numeronym);
}

// Example usage
console.log(generateNumeronym("internationalization")); // "i18n"
console.log(generateNumeronym("accessibility")); // "a11y"
console.log(generateNumeronym("Kubernetes")); // "K8s"

const batch = batchGenerateNumeronyms("internationalization localization accessibility");
console.log(batch);
// Output: [
//   { original: "internationalization", numeronym: "i18n" },
//   { original: "localization", numeronym: "l10n" },
//   { original: "accessibility", numeronym: "a11y" }
// ]
            

Python Implementation:

import re

def generate_numeronym(word, min_length=4):
    """Generate numeronym from a word."""
    # Clean and validate input
    clean_word = word.strip()
    if len(clean_word) < min_length:
        return clean_word
    
    # Calculate numeronym
    first_letter = clean_word[0]
    last_letter = clean_word[-1]
    middle_count = len(clean_word) - 2
    
    return f"{first_letter}{middle_count}{last_letter}"

def batch_generate_numeronyms(text, min_length=4):
    """Process multiple words from text."""
    words = re.findall(r'[A-Za-z]+', text)
    results = []
    
    for word in words:
        numeronym = generate_numeronym(word, min_length)
        if word != numeronym:
            results.append({
                'original': word,
                'numeronym': numeronym,
                'saved_chars': len(word) - len(numeronym)
            })
    
    return results

# Example usage
print(generate_numeronym("internationalization"))  # i18n
print(generate_numeronym("accessibility"))  # a11y
print(generate_numeronym("Kubernetes"))  # K8s

# Batch processing

for item in results:
