				I pretty much never use i as an iterator.
 
 users.map(fn(user){...})
 
 foreach(penises as penis)
 
 for _, ingredientList := range map[string]Ingredients{"quattro staggioni": ...} { ... }
 
 Even for simple numbers I tend to prefer something like "count" 🤷♀

				@bittersweet I guess it depends on the language, in Python I rarely use i as name as for is actually a foreach there, but C is a totally different story

 Even if the operation is abstract to the point where the variable is unnameable, I prefer x over i.
 
 Everyone knows x is the sexiest letter there is. Yes to y as well, y is youthful and yummy. Then abc. Awesome, amazing, brilliant, bold, cute & clever.
 
 But i & j? Isn't it irritating, inane, jarring, just junk?
 Just ignore irrefutable idealness...
 
 You say i for iterator, I counter c for counter.
 
 zip :: [a] -> [b] -> [(a,b)]
 zip _ [] = []
 zip [] _ = []
 zip (x:xs) (y:ys) = (x,y):zip xs ys
 
 So there you have it, QED. Proof that i shouldn't be used. xyabc.
 
 Wait, q is quirky, but quickly qualifies as well...

				@StopMotionCuber I rapidly oscillate between states of extreme excitement and unbearable boredom at a frequency which correlates with the amount of glasses of cognac consumed, especially when combined with uniterable lines of code and amphetamine.
