I find it more encouraging for use , when classes has comments written in a 1st person style. Because, psychologically, i feel that i can trust to delegate certain tasks to given object, while if i read a 3rd person comments, i am usually think that this is a part of something bigger, which is incomplete (wont work) alone, and so, i should use it carefully. > Regards, > > -Martin > > _______________________________________________ > Pharo-project mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project > -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig. _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project
