As long as it's meaningful, I always prefer a long name for methods, variables, properties... whatever you say. 'GetPersonName()' is preferable than 'GetPN()' or 'GetP()' etc. The most important thing is, you don't have to write self-documentation and the person on the other side still understand what the code works. Just my thoughts...

not program parameter (/argument), but related:
A few years ago, the group set down in our company to revise the coding rules tried to set a maximum source code line lenght of 80 chars. Our project leader immediately declared that our code was not to accept that limit: We had rules for creating C #define symbols that lead to symbols exceeding 80 chars (and every character in UPPERCASE). Actuall, we had several guys praising those rules (the same ones who were complaining about the 260 char file name length in FAT file systems).
Going even further back in time: I was working for a company selling their own Fortran compiler. One customer hit one ceiling: A function could have at most 99 parameters; he had more than that.
Another crazy hit-the-ceiling: A friend of mine had to extend a linker: Each module had an export table that was indexed by a signed 16-bit integer. One customer's project created a module which exported more than 32767 symbols. The quick fix was to double the maximum table size by making the index unsigned. The same project created a struct type definition of roughly 8300 lines of code. (That didn't break any limits, though.)
If noone breaks a limit, that limit serves no real purpose...

Kind of related - many years ago we had someone join our team who was a one finger typist - literally. Used the caps lock key rather than hold down shift whenever he could, that sort of thing.
When we cottoned on to this, method names in our libraries started to "evolve" under the guise of better clarity, so fg() became setDefaultForegroundTextColour() and cp() became setVirtualTextCursorPosition() and so on.
this was before the days of intellisense and auto-completion, of course.

Some code generators get to having super long variables. In the 1990's at Sun Microsystems we had to fix a 'bug' in the compiler because variables went over the 256 character limit.

Good idea, get Coke-Cola to sponsor the F5 key, that way all keyboards will be free!

Why do they ask us to tick a box, or type in a couple of words - both jobs that a computer can do pretty easily?
To prove we aren't robots, what we should have to do is harm a human being, or through inaction allow a human being to come to harm.

Some sort of "log me in, or I'm gonna come over and kick your ass" clause...?
I think I like it.

The simple tick a box one is because they are apparently tracking the mouse motion prior to the tick, 'robots' can't do human mouse movement very well and tend to go straight.
Although, this one does it quite well, if a bit slow and noisily!

Huh. Makes me wonder if my mouse movements are too precise compared to the cluster elephant that precise and accurate control on a fondlepad is, or if their scripts are confused by my multi-screen setup. I don't think I've ever gotten that one without being given an image analysis task (eg find the storefronts or street signs) that I assume is being used to generate training data for their machine learning program.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

No, the new ones are great in that regard - for the first time in years I can read the date window on my watch!
The only problems are driving, because the "normal vision" sweet spot is pretty high and small, but I'm adapting pretty well; and a lack of peripheral vision that I didn't realize I used a lot.
