Jim,

If I may, I disagree with your position but I fully support your right to hold it. You did not propose that programming and naming standards be dismissed but that there is a "better" standard. The point I disagree with is the idea of a "better" standard. A standard is good because it is a standard and because it is followed. If your standard is different from mine, so be it. If I work for you I will use your standard. If you were to work for me I would expect you to follow my standard.

My position in this is not related at all to which one is "better". My issue is that there is a standard and that it is followed.

BTW neither you or Alan Griver were talking about Hungarian Notation which is described in a 12 page document with a whole lot more than just prefixes involved. The real Hungarian Notation documents how the rest of the name will be set in the form of standard abbreviations that are to be used. It also includes fucntion naming as well as variable naming.
