You are not alone - and it's worth pointing out that what Simonyi had in mind when he proposed a prefix-based naming convention was to relay *semantics* not implementation. So-called Hungarian notation as it is commonly used today is not what he wanted! For me, the most important aspect of naming is to make the code read like English and silly abbreviated prefixes just make that impossible. -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CFCDev" group.
