Sounds good :-)

Ah, OK, yes the need to override, etc., does make dual-naming
overcomplicated.
cancel is the right verb because the method to cancel the alarm is "cancel".
"reset" also would imply to me that the alarm might be reused, which is not
possible. I suppose I could make the methods "triggered" and "cancel" to
get around this problem.

But if 'cancel' was the right verb then perhaps something like 'reset' or
'scrap' would get the sense better than 'stop' (which implies it might be
restarted?).

It is a case where people provide an object that implements a particular
interface that the alarm object will call for certain events. The event
methods are "alarmTriggered" and "alarmStopped" currently. The alarm needs
to have a well defined method name to call and the interface class that the
objects need to inherit contains a default implementation of the target
methods that get overridden by the implementing object, if needed. The
programmer would not be expected to call "alarmStopped" directlly, but will
be fielding the calls from the alarm object.

So it's not people who write the code for the alarm objects? :-). Or if
it is only one person, then he or she can choose either spelling ... (but in
general, I'd provide both anyway).

That doesn't really work in this case, because these are methods that get
called by the alarm objects, not methods that that the user calls.

I was just defining an interface for the alarm class and was adding an
method that will be called when an alarm is canceled. As I typed the name
"alarmCanceled", I was uncertain of the correct spelling of "Canceled". It
turns out "canceled" and "cancelled" are both valid spellings...sigh. For
now, I'm using "alarmStopped" unless someone can come up with a better
alternative.
Why not provide both the UK and US spellings? That's what we did for
centre/center and it must have saved many hours or days of peoples' time
over the years ... :-)
