  Calling variables, i, j, or x is meaningless.


This is way off topic anyway but. . .

i, j and also k l m n  are, since about 1962 when they, used alone, were directed to hardware index registers. Using them as loop indices resulted in higher speeds. As first letters in longer names they indicated use of integers.

x and names that started with letters other than the ones above were floating point.

And, oh yes, they had to be used as capitals because a byte was 6 bits.

So perhaps you meant meaningless to AppleScript. I'll bet they still work. But I'll also bet AppleScript doesn't even try to optimize processing speed in . . .
