>>I think you guys miss the point. Naming conventions are *not* helping us to read the code. I've never felt that naming convention helped me in any way. Whether or not using naming conventions, I still should know when, why and what a variable could/should contain. You can't tell this story with naming conventions. In good coding practises, naming conventions (aside from giving a variable a descriptive name) are at the far bottom of the list making your programs clear. It is about irrelevant.

>Don't you ever work with other people's code or go back to your own code much, much later? That's when naming conventions shine. When I can pick up a piece of code I wrote 5 years ago and immediately know the data type of the variables involved, I save a lot of time and energy and am much less likely to make mistakes in modifying that code.
