5 Rules of Variable Naming [Ian Hickman]

Ian Hickman posted 5 rules for variable naming, today. I strongly agree with the first 4 rules and hope you all follow them; the 5th is debatable. Personally, I use i, ii, j, k, etc. all the time and have never found it to be a problem. They are commonly used names for loop counters and any programmer should know what they mean.

Check out Ian's post and let me know what you think. What some other rules that all variable naming conventions that everyone should be following?
