I've _been_ seeing these things for more than the past decade and am
really tired of it.
Probably wouldn't be so irritated by this sort of thing if I hadn't
spent a significant chunk of time at my previous job making a couple
of hundred characters for use on www.medabbrev.com
And of course, there's the perfect hindsight thought of, ``if only Tim
Berners-Lee had looked more towards TeXview.app on his NeXT Cube and
used it as the basis for how to render text (and math) in
worldwideweb.app.''
