Most of this, even if it's not my preference, I would never bother arguing with. But I have a question about a practice that is tremendously widespread.

I have real trouble with single-letter variable names like "c", for any function more than, say, 2-3 lines. I scan the code and it increases my mental load because I have to remind myself what it means.

Obviously a lot of people don't have problems with this, but I do. Anybody else?

Maybe it's because I jump around a lot from function to function?
