I'm interested in knowing your logic for this

>>>I don't use "Hungarian" but I have a simple personal rule for your example... your lnAccountNumber would be AccountNumber and you lcAccountNumber would be AccountNo.
>>>
>>>Works nicely for me.

What have you gained from missing out "ln" or "lc"?

>>
>>It works for you, but have you documented it anywhere so that the next person who has to work on your code will know what you've done?

personal rule being the operative expression! Surely Hungarian is to get round people's personal prefs and make everything more universally understandable.

>Man, if they can't sniff that out they probably should find another job.

Why put them through the trouble of having to sniff, when they could just use their eyesight? And if you've ever had to maintain someone else's code and cursed them for their short-comings, foibles, weird personal structures, etc., have you ever said that to yourself.

>
>Even if I did 'document' it, they'd likely not have it at hand.

Even more reason for going Hungarian, I'd say.
