I'm_not_sure_why, but_I_cannot_quickly_and_easily_figure_out_what_you_mean_to_say..The cute dig aside, common words are quickly read based on mental assumptions of word "shapes", and word "breaks" Letter capitalization means a new sentence, or proper noun, to most english speakers.. The underscore is easily ignored as a "break" sign in english, hence, the cheat. Studly caps could be more effective if only nouns had caps, but CS folks aren't often social-language studies fans, and they cap each word. OO conventions seem straight out of a language without word breaks, beyond a new capital for each new word. *shrug* If OO folks can't adopt traditional code, lets bring the code to them, and allow MysqlExec and mysql_exec... just strip the "_". If it's slower, well, traditionally OO folks are happy to lose performance to gain OO. -Bop
