		emj on March 23, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Fundamentals of Object Storage in Elixir It is often used in swedish technical writing to separate and foreign word or an acronym from the plural so "VPS:es" in english is VPS:erna in swedish. I do not know if this is a swedish tradition, it most probably exists in Germany or the US. I've seen this use in Sweden for several decades.

I've seen it used by Swedes and Swedish speaking Finns, at least.
