Oh, and the corollary to that is "Don't ever use a single-letter word in
a name." If your method (getABa) means "get a 'Ba' attribute", rename it
"getBa".

One problem arises when you prefix interface names with "I", which I
don't.

BTW, I came to this decision while writing a JavaDoc-style documentation
generator for PowerBuilder in 1995. To handle some of my classes I
started adding a way to specify the application's acronyms to the
generator. After a little work, I finally decided that it was a Bad Idea
(tm) and switched to InitCaps for acronyms.

Um, I'm done.
