Function names don't exist in isolation. A consistent naming scheme makes all names that use that scheme easier to learn. Adding an inconsistently named function to a set of consistently named functions doesn't just make that function harder to learn, but it obscures the naming scheme. The effect of a single poorly named function may seem insignificant, but the cumulative effect of a hundred poorly named function is huge. -- Rainer Deyke - [email protected]
