Ed,

>All you've done is moved the reference from prefix to suffix. That's fine, but it's no different a technique, except for how you visually process the symbol - you have to read the entire name and begin a cognitive process, since it's at the end of the "word" and the length is not consistent or necessarily small. Prefixes can be scanned and reacted to before cognitive analysis of the name takes place, and are of a small and relatively consistent size and formation.

I Also removed the abbreviations in the name, and this is one of the major advantage in my POV. Like a lot of people I have some difficulties to read abbreviations in for example: the Adds in the newspapers. One of the first lessons i got when I went to universaty was to avoid abbreviation as much as possible because they can be hard to read for another programmer. That this implies that variablename get longer is by no means a reason to give in on readability.
