I’m really trying to point out that even if you have a rule like ‘the name of an object must be a noun’, it’s still possible to come up with bad names. <br /><br />Also, ‘Processor’ apart from being ‘a verb in noun’s clothing’ is a bad choice for a name mainly because it’s a <a href="/2011/09/weasel-words.html" rel="nofollow">weasel word</a> as it doesn’t reveal an <a href="/2012/05/clues-from-classification-naming-part-2.html" rel="nofollow">objects intent.</a>Roger Hugheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07042290171112551665[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237724005744642470.post-88228660338383850472012-05-20T20:31:05.136+01:002012-05-20T20:31:05.136+01:00I find "nounification" no problem at all...I find "nounification" no problem at all.
