>Use full words for variable names!

that's like saying in spoken language "don't ever use pronouns, or even first or nicknames, use full given names"

you are being intentionally dense, they are saying "don't use a single initial to identify someone, use their firstname instead"

I'm being dense? dense is something I never am, though pithy I will take. here, read this, and then you try to write something equally persuasive about long variable names. I'll wait
