That's because your IDE (SEU <G>) doesn't support auto-complete. When
you're coding in an ide that supports autocomplete typing long names
usually only takes 3 to 6 keystrokes anyway, and it's a hell of a lot
more readable.

Hmmm... "..._can_ be more readable under various circumstances" would seem more accurate. COBOL's reputation was partially earned by having such capabilities.
