I have as much of an instinct to dislike jargon as anybody, but when I am writing code (in Haskell usually,) I find that naming things proc, process, process', preprocess'', etc., to not be any less confusing...

So there is a certain usefulness to it, and I comfort myself by knowing that our words are mostly all arbitrary anyway.



In my opinion Haskell is horribly jargon-heavy. Its syntax is a disaster.
