This is a FAQ. See a recent discussion at [https://racket.discourse.group/t/choosing-good-names/2900](https://racket.discourse.group/t/choosing-good-names/2900) .

TL;DR: some people use `a-person` / `the-person` for an instance of `person`. Some people abbreviate instance names. But there’s not really a “community-established convention”.
