Right.  My belief is, you name a variable to give you an idea of what it 
  represents, not it's type.  So what do you do when you start casting?

'SalesAverage' makes a lot more sense to me then 'ImAFloatDude.' 
'SalesAverage' pretty much tells me it's a numeric value and it's likely 
going to have a decimal value.  Just as 'NumberOfFrogs' is likely to be 
an integer, whereas 'TypeOfFrog' is not.
