That's not how I've understood it over the years.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CamelCase

That page seems to support my thoughts that Pascal Case and Camel Case would be the same. Probably there are differing definitions out there.

>>Do you mean CamelCase? I programmed in Pacal in college, but I'm not sure when this became known as Pascal casing. I consider it a bad technique when the simple case of a variable (or whatever) indicates something. Our brains don't differentiate that. I could refer to you as viv and you might prefer Viv, but you'd know it was you to whom I was referring. You could, in a case sensitie language, make S and s variable names and they'd be different, but it'd be bad technique. Perhaps I'm still not understanding what you're getting at, but imparting meaning via the case of a variable name is a stupid idea regardless of who came up with it.
