There's a happy medium between function names being 2 letters and function names being a full damn sentence.

I personally prefer common things to have short names, less common to have long names. That's how natural languages work, and i think it makes a lot of sense. If everything has a long name, it ends up being hard to pick out the important bits. If everything has a short name, it also becomes a bit impeneterable.

Cannot stop laughing of the limit of early basic with only 2 characters.
