Common convention doesn't make it automatically readable. Every modern language should strive to be user friendly. Gone are the days when we were constrained by hardware limitations which caused us to adopt such practices in the first place. One letter variable/parameter names is a despicable trend. Abbreviated function names are also rather vile in my eyes.
