LOL!
Actually it does. With VB you always have to think up a slightly different
spelling. Often using some TCP (three/two character prefix).
Dim clsJunk || oJunk || JunkyClass As CJunk
Dim stJunk || junk_t || junkStuff As JUNK_T (a UDT)
And no one else uses the same.
[A classic example, of how easier it would be for me if everyone just did it
my way.]
But with case-sensitiivity there is no thinking involved. (a state I am most
comfortable with.)
CJunk cJunk
JUNK_T junk_t
However, as a sidenote on the subject of readibility, everything breaks down
with an 'interface'.
Dim ?Junk As IJunk
I have never come up with a decent tcp or any other immediate recognizable
naming convention for interfaces, that doesn't interfer with some other
convention or is too ugly...
iJunk ~ interger, number or what?
inJunk ~ parameter, integer or what?
interfaceJunk ~ too much typing
typJunk ~ only meaningful to a real geek
...
Any suggestions?
