The main reason for me to know/use abbreviations is that they will be
reserved words that cannot be used as variable, handler, or custom property
names.  This is one of the reasons that a script that looks 'legal and
correct' will generate an error.

Newbies could be very confused since they are doing 'exactly' what the docs
say.
