Another example: in my work group, "data" specifically means "measurements made in the real world." Numbers generated by a computer simulation don't qualify.

Another example: in my work group, "data" specifically means "measurements made in the real world." Numbers generated by a computer simulation don't qualify. So in our code, "data" could be a perfectly meaningful variable name.
Personally, the worst variable name I've ever seen was "C". This was a vector of concentrations. Unfortunately, the language was Fortran-77-- where a "C" in column 1 indicates a comment line.
