I think these practices make sense for math-oriented code. In particular, I don’t understand the last objection. When you read math, do you need to describe the letters and symbols with English phrases in your head, like “Calligraphic L...right arrow with double staff...bold italic a with squiggle on top....”?

> When you read math, do you need to describe the letters and symbols with English phrases in your head..? I don't need to only if I already know what they mean. How does your brain process a character that you can't pronounce and whose meaning you're trying to understand from the code you're currently reading? Because my brain will need to assign something to it in order to use it.
