<P><FONT SIZE=2>I prefer descriptive variable and function names - like comments, they help to make code so much easier to read.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>One thing I wonder though... why do people prefer 'some_function_name()' over 'SomeFunctionName()'? I personally don't like the underscore character - it's an odd character to type when you're trying to get the name typed in, and the shifted character, I find, is easier to input.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Some people still seem to be living in the age of K&R C, with 6 or 7</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>character variable names that demand some explanation. Maybe some day</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>they will awake to the expressive power of long (and well chosen) names.</FONT> </P>
