Anyway, names like Clock.currentTime() are too long, IMO. There's
nothing wrong with shortening it. But the abbreviations need to be
consistent, so it shouldn't be currTime in one case, and curYear in
another case. And consistency needs to be across the board.

Before abbreviating anything, try removing the superfluous. "Clock.currentTime()" might be unnecessary long, but why does it need to belong to Clock? Isn't "currentTime()" short and precise enough by itself? Now you've saved six characters and one word of clutter instead of three while keeping the same number of words.
