Yes, you've read me correctly. There are few who like my approach to naming variables, so I translate into those yucky inconsistent-length variable names when others are likely to be subjected to reading my code.

One engineer, after modifying some of his code to match my naming convention, indicated he really did like the way his code lined up, but he just couldn't bring himself to de-Englishify his variables names just so the code lined up nicely.

I don't Clark other people's code, and I do try to play along when the code isn't going to be strictly mine, but I find a serene and refreshing beauty in consistency and functional abbreviation.

In that, I am definitely a Rare Bird.
