Vice-Rector for Science of the Pushkin State Institute of the Russian Language, Doctor of Philology Mikhail Osadchy proposed to replace the term “QR-code” with to “graphic code,” Radio Sputnik reports.
According to him, the need to show the code when visiting public places causes negative emotions for some Russians, partly because of the term itself.
” ;The term «QR-code» not everyone understands, since this is the English abbreviation — Quick Response Code, that is, the quick response code. Everything incomprehensible increases irritation. I would recommend choosing a word that people will understand in terms of word formation. So that a person at least understands how it arose, », — he said.
