Maybe if you read my post, you'd see that I specifically mention "variable names of proper length that reflect their semantics (not necessarily long)," so I don't really appreciate being called a "long variable fanatic." I'm asking what the advantage is outside of loop variables which is everyone's favorite example because they can't find any better. Also, outside of geometry or other mathematics fields as most apps are not in that field. I find variable names that are actual, non-abbreviated words easier to read. What are you going to tell me next, that I don't know what's easier for me to read? Oh wait, you just did. Thank you for your condescending manner.
