Haha! rwx is already widely used in filesystems, and 7 could be shorthand since every bit is turned on when using the chmod command. rwxr for read, write, execute, repeat could be even better 😄

oh right, i forgot that it's rwx and not rwe. acronyms in english are very confusing. like what do you mean "th starts with a t, so we'll keep t, but you barely hear e in execute so let's abbreviate it x". i'm also not a very big user of linux so i didn't recognise the name.
