And yet there is no formal set of rules for names that can be enforced. Without it, we are forced to pick and choose assumptions.

This has been posted a few times and is almost a year old. It is an excellent blog, though. Worth reading the newer entries.

>and is almost a year old

I think the submitter realizes this. The end of the URL includes '?repost-after-a-year' :)

Edit: But it is still worth pointing that out to people reading the comments here since obviously not everyone will notice that.

Edit2: While roughly a year since it was last posted (nine months), the article is two years old now.

Touche, I missed that.

I actually retitled it “Falsehoods Programmers (Still!)Believe About Names,” but somehow it is back to the blog’s title.
