IMHO, abbreviations are evil and have no place in Smalltalk and is not an essential part of natural *spoken* language. If one can't read one's code out loud in plain words, then something is wrong with the code. Abbreviations make no sense at all in the era of code completion and intellisense. -- Ramon Leon http://onsmalltalk.com _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project
