I love Hungarian notation. I adopted it early using a home-grown version in
my pre-ANSI C days. It has a proven track record in assisting programmers to
write readable and maintainable code.

Like all standards it depends on one to actually use the 'standard' - I
suspect that you have either combined several conventions (MS, ADO,
Leszynski, Hungarian, ...) or it is malformed. (My guess - you meant to type
"gacboJerry".)

In any case a variable 'name' is always meaningless when removed from the
context in which it was used. Whether 'English' or 'Hungarian'.
