Any one who worked on an Oracle DB when they had the 30 character object name limit learned to make names like this. You'd figure out all your domain objects, and abbreviate them all (person could be PRS_, account could be ACCT_, etc). It was a horrible experience.

I mean, sure, but it's not like that makes you forget the normal English words. Just don't abbreviate those words and you've likely got a semi-decent variable name.

Well, and my expectation for non-shit seniors is to be somewhat good at their job and to lead by example.
