I have a convention to correlate the size of variable scope with its name length.
If a variable is used all over the program, it will be named "response". If it is <15 lines, then it can be "res". If it is less than 3 lines, it can be only "r".
This makes reading code a bit simpler, because it makes unimportant, local vars short and unnoticeable.
Why though? Intellisense helps you write out the full name. And instead of response why not call it whatever the data you're expecting to be
I agree because it makes the code easier to follow in 6 months time.
Could you comment a couple of examples? At best some that signifiy the importance with them as verstra wrote.
