Clarity is very important, but if you have long names which are used 
frequently, it can quickly result in long lines of code which end up on 
multiple lines and can be hard to read. If a word isn't used very often, 
then it's not that big a deal, but the more often it's used - especially 
when it can be used multiple times on the same line - the worse it gets. 
Really, the ideal situation is to find words which are short and clear, but 
a balance must be struck between the two regardless. Too long and it's 
cumbersome. Too short and it's likely to be unclear.

There's no question that programmers often use words for variable names and 
such which are ludicrously short and unclear, but long words can be a 
problem too.
