I'm serious about that. There have been countless brain studies which prove that the brain simply can't take in information as fast as it is accustomed to when certain screwy things happen with written language. or, just chalk it up to difference in preference.

Intellisense is meant to help but for the most part programmers should not have to hover a mouse over every word to find out what it is. Your worried about eliminating lbl for a label prefix, why... Isnt your code cleaner being able to look at it and instantly know it is a label? Are you worried about the additional typing of bits of space those extra letters take up... Common sense tells us as programmers to keep our code as neat, clean and readable as possible. Eliminating prefixes for intellisense does not accomplish this.
