If anything the words comprising mathematical texts should be defined once and thereafter truncated to their first letter to reduce cognitive burden and facilitate greater comprehension. c = "could"; d = "don't"; f = "for"; g1 = "go"; g2 = "great"; i = "it"; i2 = "i"; m = "me"; s = "see"; w = "works"; w2 = "what"; w3 = "wrong" i w g2 f m; i2 d s w2 c g1 w3.
