S stands for? R stands for?

No no, don't get me wrong..i'm not teaching kids ABC... then what is it about? Well, let me tell you what is it about.

Normally when we name a file, we will name it to something meaningful, something that ppl will understand. Say like if this file is to search user, we probably will name it as "searchuser", easy to read, easy to understand, and easily we know what this file is for. But one of my ex colleague, he prefer to name his file differently, how different? like just now the search user right, he probably will name it as "su". For him, sure no problem, cos he knows what the files are for, but for other ppl, by looking at the file name, we totally have no idea what "su" means...

He likes to name his file by character, one character represent one word. Say if it's search, he will use "s", if view, then he probably will use "v", then what about "r"? well, seriously i really don't know. "r" can stands for a lot of words, "repeat", "reject", "report" and etc etc etc..

~sigh..so scared wanna make changes to his modules.. have to spend a lot of time in GUESSING what he mean by all those single character file name and variable names...
