I just left my basement and I learned that people outside use something else that one- and three-character variable names. Is this true and widespread practice?

No. EXPERT PROGRAMMERS use only one letter variable names. Extra points if the characters are non-standard in the English language and require multiple keypresses or a special keyboard to produce.

Why no, no I don't believe I have. Thank you for asking!

In javascript, it's fairly standard practice to alias long-winded function names: Along the lines of other frameworks such as jQuery or Prototype, shortening the "querySelector" name can be convenient.[1]
function $ (selector, el) {
if (!el) {el = document;}
return el.querySelector(selector);
}
function $$ (selector, el) {
if (!el) {el = document;}
return el.querySelectorAll(selector);
}
alert($('#myID').id;

variables should be named so as to provide a hidden message from top to bottom
i.e
int ha = 11;
int xma = 12;
char nus = 99;
etc.

I name all my variables in 8.3 format.

I try to name my variables so it's easier for people to understand my code. but then again I am a FIOC fag
I try to name my variables so it's as hard as possible for people to understand my code. but then again I am a Perl fag, so nobody would understand it even with $longAndDescriptiveVariableNames
Why have separate variables, when you can just have one large array? If I need floating point numbers I split them up into nice Int sized chunks and store them sequentially.

Hi, OP! Yes, you are right, me and my imaginary friends use two-character variable names most often, so yes, it's widespread practice.

Real languages like Java allows the use of Unicode variable names.
