Am I immoral for using a variable name that differs from its type only by case?

Question

For instance, take this piece of code:

var person = new Person();

or for you Pythonistas:

person = Person()

I

Answer 1

What is the reasoning of those telling you this is bad? I do this all the time. It is the simplest, expressive way to name a single variable of a type. If you needed two Person objects then you could prefix person with meaningful adjectives like

fastPerson
slowPerson

otherwise just

person

is fine with me.
