Who ever said that "THAT" was good programing practice?

if you dim someting as LONG, it may be efficient to name the variable as 
lngSomeVariable, tho that is not required, what IS a better programming 
practice is consistency, diming something as INTEGER but naming it as lng is

straight out of the "how to write unmaintainable code". And for the sake of 
this thread, neither brings anything new to the discussion, rather it makes 
your argument NULL.
