Apparently there is no limit to naming conventions for method

You guys have obviously never written any objective C. The following method signature (without defined parameter names) is a legit initializer method from the Apple code base for the NSBitmapImageRep[^][] object. God only knows what some users have made.

In this case, she is actually a he, and he's an inflatable doll.

What is actually so bad about this? The length only? If yes, then WTF? You are kvetching about length? Why? If not, then fill it in here: __________________________

Eh? Unreadable in what sense? I can read quite clearly, as well as understand the intent. Long names are inherently self-documenting. I sincerely do NOT understand your response. To me, tersely abbreviated names are not only unreadable, but quite unnecessary in this day-and-age of auto-completion.

I've used support software from a certain hardware manufacturer. I think their software was written by an intern. All of the names are of the form:
#define ACR1_ACR2_ACR3_..._ACRN 0x........
where each
ACR_i_is a three or four letter acronym for a hardware signal or state. Some of the names are well over 100 characters long, and completely unreadable.Software Zen:

The same reason that writing a 4 page essay in a comment in the lounge is unreadable. You have to parse a lot of text before you can begin to understand what the purpose is. Just get to the point, which I'm sure can be expressed in fewer than 15 words or however many are in that title.

Yeah, its like climbing Rapunzel's tower to find out that she is actually a he.

In college, did you title your essays using the entire contents of the essays, or did you use something shorter? Longer variables take longer for humans to read, they can lead to extra horizontal scrolling (the Devil!), they take longer to type, and they are not necessary.

[Description("Or perhaps here.")]
abbreviateAppropriately...so it does follow the method around and is more localizable.

Nice ans well, but I expect some rcommendation any time now that will tell us to wear feathers on our heads and chant while dancing around the computer.
At least artificial intelligence already is superior to natural stupidity

Well in probability this is several methods and attributes:
public void ReAddRequiredDeletedDevice()
{
//OK this if is a punt, but if gives the idea
if(!Device.IsDeleted && Device.IsIncluded)
{
//Add or whatever
}
}public void SetDeviceList()
{
ReAddRequiredDeletedDevice();
return; //Hey the one useful line of code from the OP!

That is not real! I can't believe
