QuoteI'm going to release a new free Delphi project soon. "string" types in Delphi? Word is heavily overloaded too. How can something that can only hold numerical values be a "word"? Calling something a "class function" might imply that other functions are not as good, as in "Bob is a class act, but his brother isn't". And this prediliction with OO might be seen as developers objectifying the problem domain, and objectifying anything is generally a bad thing. Get a grip. :) A software "{*word*163}" (software that hooks something) is not the same as a street-walker. Neither, incidentally, is it the same as the playing position in a rugby football game. I'd much rather work with a name that is easily understood and communicates it is job - if it has a double-entendre that might make me smile every once in awhile that is all good! If the alternative is to spend my days working with code that uses ultra-politically sensitive names but which leads to cumbersome and possibly ambiguous or inaccurate names, then give me clarity and offensiveness any day. :D -- JS TWorld.Create.Free; |

Some years ago, there was a program name P.C. {*word*163}.
It transfer files from one computer to another. Edwin "Qi" <XXXX@XXXXX.COM>writes QuoteI'm going to release a new free Delphi project soon. |

So an instance of a T{*word*163} would be
A{*word*163} := T{*word*163}.Create (Customer); try A{*word*163}.ChargeToMuch(1000); A{*word*163}.strip; while A{*word*163}.Customer.NotDone A{*word*163}.DoIt; A{*word*163}.CladSparingly; A{*word*163}.SplitTakeWithPimp; finally A{*word*163}.Free; end; Quotemaybe T{*word*163} hehe |

Re: Is the word "{*word*163}" good to be part of a project name?
Hi, all,
Thank you for all your reply. Seems all your English speakers' first reaction is "{*word*41}" when seeing the word "{*word*163}", so I think I should change it back to "hook". Same in Chinese, the word "chick" or "hen" is abused to indicate "{*word*41}" too so we always avoid that word. :-) My new project is a package of code hook which hooks other functions. it is part of my another project Denomo. I think the proper name is "CodeHook" rather than "Code{*word*163}". |
