Yeah, mine said "It is traditional to use i and j for loop counters". In
plain black and white. Not n for number, but i for integer (I guess).

So I'd quite like to know the reasons as well. And Google didn't work
for me either.

I think that if you come across

var
  i: Integer;
begin
  for i := 0 to Bob.Count - 1 do
  begin
    Blah Blah;
    ...
  end;
end;

it's pretty obvious what's happening. If your code is so convoluted that
you can't look at it and go "Ooh, look! A 'for' loop with a counter"
then you have bigger problems than calling your loop counters i and j.

And do your work for you?! :-)

If it isn't obvious, there is no point in discussing it - all entry
level computer science course discuss this very issue.

True, the VCL also uses _with_.
