Interesting how "i" is more common in some languages than others. C and C++ make sense (for(i = 0; i < n; i++)), but Ruby is a puzzler.

"nil" "if" and "elsif"

EDIT: though looking at my sources, where it seems to also be popular, it mostly seems to match inside non-syntax (field, nickname, to_i, strip, index, client).
