Well, we're going to have to agree to disagree on that point. Functions are supposed to be verbs. They're only nouns if they're properties, in which case, they're emulating variables, which are nouns. And I'd consider following the proper naming conventions like that to be far more important than saving a few characters. - Jonathan M Davis
