Hm. I always use "res", it is an obvious and often used abbreviation of
"result". Resurrection hardly ever makes sense in a programming context
and resolution almost always requires x and y parts, or you just use dpi
or so.
I do find the use of "z" in completely nonsensical ways extremely
annoying, maybe even mostly because it is a typical thing of and in my
brain associated with "warez", skript-kiddies and other idiots (sorry
iive, just saying my impressions, not directed at you :-) ).
