I follow a style of giving all my collections plural names so that I can type things like "for sprite in sprites" without name collisions. However this then created a large problem when I wound up with, for sensible reasons, a collection named "sprite_data". This lead to the very uncomfortable existence of a singular variable named "sprite_datum"

h0m54r,

@mcc I use for datum in data quite frequently. The problem I have is when such loops need to nest, so you end up trying to avoid for hobbits in hobbitses
