Yeah. As long as abbreviations are reasonably clear they're 
actually a _good_ thing because they reduce code length without 
losing clarity. When you have multiword symbol names, they get 
ugly _really_ fast if you don't abbreviate. It's one of the 
things that tends to make Java code ugly; they frequently have 
overly long names because they don't abbreviate.
