> I don't even use "i" for loop variables anymore.

Yeah, I noticed that for myself, too. so instead of i I might use frame_index, or whatever it "actually is". Up to a certain length it seems faster to just read what is there, without an additional mental translation step. But to be honest, I just do it because I like it.

I do that off and on, mostly because with the editor I use, it's harder to highlight single letter variables.
