All,

Those of you wanting to know more than you ever wanted
to know about tokens in C might like to check out
sentence 763 at: http://www.knosof.co.uk/cbook/cbook.html

The material relating to this list starts at page 6.

If anybody has any theories about why developers might
create identifiers whose ambiguity is minimised when the
middle two letters are known (page 21), please let me know.
A phonological answer may be possible for English words, but
how could this apply to identifiers containing digits and missing
vowels?
