I don't see any real information being lost in the shortening of "RandomInteger" to "RandInt", just as I've never seen confusion over "substr" instead of "substring", or "rindex" instead of "reverseindex".

    The main confusion that I have seen is that sometimes people will assume the word has been shortened one way when it was in fact shortened in another.

    This can be a pain. More of a pain than typing it all out every time? Dunno. But my habit is to shorten, so I do it anyways.

    Perhaps some time I will make an experiment of being verbose for a while and decide if I like the results of that better.
