i found a situation where a single-letter variable name actually makes the usage code more legible

unfortunately if you go further down this train of thought, you end up talking like a pirate ("be" evaluates to either "is" or "are")

@2DArray That code is just begging for a ternary operator

@2DArray if count = 0 there will be a s at chicken ;p

@2DArray This code wouldn't work well in Russian :D 1 chicken = 1 курица 2-4 chickens = 2-4 курицы 5-20 chickens = 5-20 куриц 21 chickens = 21 курица etc.

@2DArray it is too early for this

@2DArray chickens = pluralize("chicken", count) Debug.log($"You have {count} {chickens}.") somewhat more localization-ready, though I don't know how to actually implement the pluralize function in a locale-sensitive way

@2DArray That's horrible xD There is no plural "s" in chicken one chicken two chicken three chicken ...

@2DArray @ladracene That's a sexy tweet

@2DArray youtu.be/F-X4SLhorvw?t=…

@2DArray @varbrad

@2DArray I always struggled with what to call that variable and the answer was staring me right in the face this whole time

@2DArray Hah, clever!

@2DArray You have -1 chickens

@2DArray -_-

@2DArray Doesn't work for a lot of languages tho. Some have 11 different pluralization rules.
