Adding confusion to obscurity? Why insist on foreshortening everything when
nearly every editor around offers programmability of some sort, and
completion can be had for free most everywhere (even if it is often more
disturbing than helpful, IMHO). Or, as another approach: Type once, paste
often - if the words are lengthy, just copy one line and paste it as often
as needed. Sometimes, the ability to manipulate column blocks is helpful
also, it eases modification of line sections in multiple lines. And more.

Which means, there's not much to gain with foreshortened identifiers, when
the editors make typing easy anyway.
After all, a programmer should not type most of the time, but _think_ about
the structures his typing is to describe. Shouldn't he?
