Before abbreviating anything, try removing the superfluous. 
"Clock.currentTime()" might be unnecessary long, but why does it need 
to belong to Clock? Isn't "currentTime()" short and precise enough by 
itself? Now you've saved six characters and one word of clutter instead 
of three while keeping the same number of words.
