I think this is just a case of what you prefer, but I am with notation all the way.
If you are maintaining code from others, having the 'lc' or whatever, gives you an indication of what the coder was trying to achieve, especially when you need to debug! If you hit a bug you can hover over the offending variable and see, for example, an lcString giving a value of 1 instead of "1" and see immediately the cause of the bug.
If you want elegance, you've got "beautify"!
...but seriously put the elegance into your application interface instead, that's where it always seems lacking!

I like work. It fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours...
