You are assuming that every one can recall 25+ letter names - dyslectics have problems with this sort of short term memory.



That is a very weak argument. Is there anything that suggests letter count is a barrier to dyslexics, and not, say, word count or number of obscure abbreviations?


Yes short term memory tests are one of the primary diagnostic tests for dyslexia. Ie how many consecutive numbers/letters you can recall.

Long Names like SomeRealyLongNameFunctionThing and SomeRealySimialrLongFunctionNameThing are both hard to work with and confusing to me.
